Adapter from Gooseneck to 5'th wheel

[GSchroeder]

I would like to tow a 5'th wheel trailer without installing another hitch. I know someone makes an adapter so you can pull it with the gooseneck ball but I don't remember the company. Does anyone know who sells such a product?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was always told that it is extremely hard on the camper when pulling it. . if it was converted to a gooseneck?

I know you really don't want to buy another hitch, but if you go to Turnover Ball Hitches they make a 5th wheel hitch that actually attaches to your existing Gooseneck hitch. When I finally get up the money. . this is the setup that I am buying for my truck. Why not have the best of both worlds?

Hope this helps

Hey, I knew I had a town in Wyoming named after me, but I didn't know I also had a hitch named after me #ad

Buffalo Bill was also named after you. Buffalo Bill was buried in Denver, but the folks in Cody WY wanted his body and kept on trying to steal it till Denver erected a huge steel fence around it and encased his coffin in concrete. Cody makes excellent hitches for a decent price.

I have the B&W hitch which has a gooseneck ball and you can remove the ball and insert a 5vr adapter and hook up the companion 5th wheel hitch. I contacted the factory and no way will they authorize or back up hooking an adapter on the kingpin to hook up to the ball.

If your 5er hitch uses the Reese rails, Reese sells a gooseneck hitch for them.

I wonder if they are more/less stable or no difference in the towing of the 5er with one like this/
