Rota Flex Pin Box Compatible Adapter for Towing 5th Wheel Trailer With Gooseneck Hitch
Question:
Will this gooseneck conversion work on the rota flex pin box
asked by: Paul W
Expert Reply:
The Covert-A-Ball # CAB-C5G is not compatible with the Rota Flex pin box, because the pivot at the king pin would place too much stress on the king pin/adapter connection.
The best least expensive solution I can recommend would be the Demco Recon, part # DM8550045 which would work great with a Trail Air Rota Flex. One very nice thing about the Recon is that at under 150 lbs, it's lighter than most 5th wheel hitches and easily breaks down into 2 easier to manage pieces. The hitch features a one piece wrap-around jaw that holds the king pin very tightly for good ride quality. The hitch head features dampeners to help isolate the tow vehicle from road shock which also provides good ride quality.
I'll link to a product video for the Demco Recon, so you can take a look at its features.
