Could Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter be Used with Short Be Truck
Question:
I understand that this adapter will work with the Turning Point hitch locked in place. I also understand that it will work with just about any Goose neck hitch I have a pop up My truck is a 2007 GMC 2500, standard box. Will I need any sort of sliding hitch or off set or do you think I will be fine with this adapter? Thanks for any help.

Expert Reply:
When using a fixed hitch like the Demco Recon gooseneck to fifth wheel adapter part # DM8550045 that you referenced with a short bed truck it is possible you could get away without having to need more offset for turning clearance but the trailer would need to have an extended pin box and the nose of the trailer would need to be tapered.
You should note that the Recon has an offset of 3 inches built into it.
