Recommended Fifth Wheel to Gooseneck Coupler Adapter That Can Work With A Tongue Weight of 5,000 lbs

My RV is 15800 pounds with a tongue weight of 5000 pounds will this replacement by reese handle this
asked by: Ernie
Expert Reply:
Unfortunately the Reese Goose box 5th wheel # RP94716-61301 will not work because the tongue weight capacity is 3,200 pounds.
I recommend the Ranch Hitch fifth-wheel-to-gooseneck coupler adapter # AM3100. It has a tongue weight capacity of 6,000 pounds and 24,000 pounds towing capacity. A optional slide hammer # AM3103 is a popular option for this Ranch Hitch. It makes it very easy to seat the inner threaded collar around the trailer king pin.
I have included a video review and instruction link for you as well.
