Expert Reply:
If you have a recessed ball then you can use the Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # DM8550046 you were looking at. However, you cannot use the # CAB-C5G with a Rota-Flex due to the movement of the pin box.
The other solution is to replace your pin box. You will need to determine which bolt pattern you have to find the correct replacement.
The Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box # GY66FR will work as a replacement for your pin box if it's a 1621. The Gen-Y # GY43FR will work as a replacement if it's a 1116 or 1716.
More than likely there will be a sticker on your pin box that will have a model number and serial number that can be used to identify it. Otherwise you will need to measure the bolt pattern. I have attached a helpful article on how to identify/measure for your reference.
