To reduce the amount of chucking that you are experiencing when towing your 2015 Grand Design Reflections Fifth Wheel with a gooseneck adapter, I recommend installing a fifth wheel hitch on your 2013 Ford F-150.
If your F-150 has a 6-1/2 ft bed, I recommend the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R16 Slider, # C16521, and the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, # C16120, for an 8 ft bed.
Both options are cushioned hitches that provide additional shock absorption between the truck and trailer, have a 16,000 pound towing capacity, and use the Curt Fifth Wheel Installation Kit, # C16441-204. The installation kit comes with custom brackets which mount beneath the truck bed to provide attachment point for the fifth wheel rails.
