Expert Reply:
You can use an adapter like the Demco # DM6140 to give you rails in your bed without taking the gooseneck hitch out. The only problem is that this is not compatible with a sidewinder. There are not going to be any adapters that are compatible with a sidewinder. So if you do have a sidewinder kind pin on your camper, you will need to uninstall the gooseneck hitch, and install a rail kit like the Reese # RP50140-58. You can pair that with the Reese 20K fifth wheel hitch # RP30928 for a setup that will be safe to use with a sidewinder.
