It sounds like you need a gooseneck trailer to 5th wheel hitch adapter. What you can do is replace the inner tube or both the inner and outer tube (requires professional installation by qualified welder). This will allow you to tow a gooseneck trailer with the 5th wheel hitch that is on a semi tractor.
We have several options and I have linked them for you. I have also linked an FAQ article. The links are on the right side of the page. You will need to look at the trailer to determine which adapter will work. You will need to know if you have a round or square tube, the inner diameter of the outer tube, whether it attaches with set screws or through-bolts, or if both an outer and inner tube are needed. Then you can select the appropriate adapter.
