Switching From Regular Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Adapter to Recessed Ball Adapter
Question:
I have the Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter - Single Jaw - 21,000 lbs and don’t want to buy a new hitch when I get a flat bed. Can I get just the adapter for the recessed gooseneck ball?

Expert Reply:
The base on the # DM8550045 is completely different from the # DM8550046 so you can't simply add on the adapter for the recessed ball. However, you can swap out the base with # DM6316 and use your existing head which will save money over replacing the entire thing.

Awesome!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!! That would actually be best option as then having both bases I’d be set no matter what. Is there a veteran discount?
