Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch that Connects to a Gooseneck Ball for a Trailair Air Ride 5th Wheel
Question:
I’m transporting a camper that has a trail air fifth wheel hookup but I have a gooseneck ball in the truck. Can you tell me what’s needed to adapt? The part number may be 155900

I recommend using the Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # DM8550045 which is compatible with air ride pin boxes. This 5th wheel hitch will attach directly to your gooseneck ball. This hitch has a 21,000 lbs capacity. I have linked a review video below.
The Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter item # CAB-C5G you were looking at can not be used with a Trailair Air Ride 5th Wheel King Pin. I also was not able to find anything with the part number you provided.
If you are interested in swapping out your Trailair Air Ride pin box I would just need to see the sticker off of your trailer's pin box to recommend the correct gooseneck adapter.
