B&W Companion Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter - Dual Jaw - 20,000 lbs
Love this hitch. It has performed great with my 17,000 lb trailer all year. A very stable and reliable platform for towing. Easy to set up and plenty of adjustment to get the trailer just right. The only negative is the weight, not the easiest to get in and out of the truck by yourself.
Hitch arrived on time. Packaging was a little beat up but everything inside was fine. I did the installation myself and had no issues. The install video etrailer made was a big help and good reference. I'd absolutely recommend getting this hitch if you have a gooseneck hitch and are looking for a 5th wheel hitch that can be used with it.

Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitches - 20,000 lbs
I purchased the curt X5for my F250 Super Duty. Install and removal are a breeze. Holds mu 5th wheel plate great. Pulled 7000 miles a month after install.
Great product! Ive pulled a 42' to Hell and back not one problem. It is heavy, but it's very solid. My fifth wheel hitch fit straight in. Way cheaper than having to put rails in if you have a factory ball hitch in the bed. Its It's also nice that it's removable so you can haul furniture, or things that can't sit crooked ect. Great product, should last forever. Definitely would recommend

B&W Companion Slider Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter - Dual Jaw - 20,000 lbs
what a horrible experience buying from trailer. The company takes your money and then takes no responsibility for the actual delivery of the product. $[XX] spent, but I do not have the hitch.
I purchased the B&W 20K Companion Slider & Underbed Mount System (UMS) for my 2015 Ford F150 extended cab (with 6 foot bed) over a year ago because it was the only solution that was removable. Construction and finish was very nice and still looks great. Installation wasn't too difficult but the 4” hole in the bed needs to be exact otherwise getting it square will be very difficult. Overall the slider works great but must be mounted directly on the bed and cannot be mounted over a plastic bed liner. Once installed everything worked great however after numerous trips I've yet to need or use the slider backing up as I can turn 80+ degrees without ever hitting or coming close to the truck cab (towing 2018 Cougar Half Ton Series 5th wheel). Also the slider is very heavy (head 75 lbs + base 207 lbs = 282 lbs) to remove and install (takes two people or an overhead winch). Plus the overall hitch weight (head, base & UMS is 394 lbs) puts me very close to the GVWR once the truck & trailer is fully loaded hence in hindsight I probably should have gone with the fixed 5th wheel hitch (total just 318 lbs compared to 400 lbs) instead as it would have saved 81 lbs and costs $489 less but at least I have the option to slide it back if ever needed.

Bulldog Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Coupler Adapter - Inner Tube - Round - 25,000 lbs
I ordered the Bulldog adapter because I believe their quality is good. The construction of the Bulldog hitch adapter was good. However, the 4” tube was not perfectly round, approximately.030 out of round. This shouldn’t have been an issue, but since my trailer is used and had a Temco hitch originally, the tube wouldn’t slip in. I chucked the Bulldog in the lathe and skimmed .030 of the diameter and it went right in. This review is not written to criticize Etrailer or Bulldog. Just be aware if you’re working with a different brand hitch other than what is listed, there is a possibility of fitment issues.
My expectation when I unboxed the unit was that it would be a brand new unit. This unit looks like it had been made up and peicemealed from random gooseneck parts. I am reluctant to use this unit because I am questioning the workmanship of the welds.

Ranch Hitch Universal 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter
I returned it, because it was going to change the structural integrity of my 5th wheel camper. Did not use the product.
Real fast shipping, and a competitive price. Easy to follow directions and simple installation. This is a great product.

Ranch Hitch Universal 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter w/8" Offset for Short-Bed Trucks
I have a 2019 f250 with the 6.5' bed and didn't want a heavy, bulky fifth wheel hitch taking all the bed space up. I had the fifth wheel package already installed as well, so it didn't make sense to not use that. I about went with the ultimate hitch that Anderson offers but decided against that as I have seen many reviews where the hitch failed. I saved a bunch of cash going with this product and it is awesome. I installed it by myself in my drive way in about 2 hours start to finish. I have zero issues turning so close to a 90*. I have a headache rack on my truck and it gets within an inch or two of hitting that but not my truck. I don't have any issues with the king box hitting the bed either like some people stated. The test ride today went very well. It rode very smooth and I have plenty of bed space for my dogs and gear. I would highly suggest this product if you are on the fence like I was. I will see how this will hold up over the years but I doubt I will have any issues. The shipping effected the sheath covering over the cable, I contacted the company, sent some pictures and they will be sending me a brand new part. I love this company and the products they stand behind!!!
I have been using the Ranch Hitch #3100 Straight Adapter for 3 years. Converting the 5th wheel to goose neck was awesome. Much easier to hook up and a smoother, quieter pull. After purchasing a new trailer I noticed that the trailer was too close to the cab of my short bed truck. I found the Ranch Hitch #3139 with 8" offset adapter. It installs easy and gives me 8 more inches away from my truck cab. Excellent! Turning corners is much more comfortable!

Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter - Single Jaw - 21,000 lbs
The assembly seems very stout and sturdy overall. Was able to put the unit together in truck bed quite easily. will know more in upcoming weekend when fifth wheel trailer gets pulled home
Working great after a year. Have pulled two different 5th wheels - both over 38'. Still some slight chucking, but nothing like my old hitch. Love the security of the slider bar and the 360 degree contact. I usually leave it in the truck, but will split it into two pieces when I need the full bed.

Demco 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitches
This product is spot on, I installed it immediately and have used it twice. This product was an awesome option to purchase because of already having the B&W turnover ball system. This gave me the ability to install and the Curt Q24 slider to give the maneuverability needed when pulling a fifth wheel with a short box that the Anderson hitch did not provide. I have already used the slider option twice, it works flawlessly. Prior to the purchase of this Demco I purchased the Curt X5. The X5 did not work with my truck at all. The X5 did not even make contact with the bed of the truck for support. This Demco base to rails fits tightly to the bed of the truck. I have 2007 Dodge 3500. It is a short box mega cab.
Does exactly what is is built to do. I pull a 42’ fifthwheel that weighs 18000# with no hesitation anywhere. As always very happy with product and ther staff at etrailer. I will continue to use you for all my needs. Thank

B&W Companion Flatbed Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter - Dual Jaw - 25,000 lbs
I am very impressed with the quality of this BW 5th wheel hitch. I chose it because it what is recommended for use on my new flatbed for my truck. The flatbed is designed with this hitch in mind. It fits perfectly in the gooseneck well and is easy to install/remove. Just tighten/loosen the tension bolt and slide the locking pin to switch from gooseneck ball to 5th wheel. Going with this hitch and a flatbed makes trailering so much easier. No more step ladders, standing on running boards or tire to reach the hitch handle. Just reach over, grab the handle to open/close the jaws and set the safety pin. Highly recommend it.
Hitch is great, B&W products are exceptional. Had the turnover ball mounted on a Douglass flatbed. Purchased the fifth wheel hitch for a 37 ft two axle toy hauler. Pulls great, easy installation. Make sure to make all the appropriate measurements before purchasing. There were some shipping issues. etrailer failed to send a bolt bag initially. Took a while to get that rectified, but all is well.

Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter for Recessed Ball - Single Jaw - 21,000 lbs
I got a email to review this so here I am. The attachment to the bed in fantastic. I rate it at 5 stars and an it’s very easy to remove quickly. The king pin lock does not work very well after about 6 months of use. I typically have to reach into the locking mechanism to get it to release properly. Other than that is has not cracked, rusted or bent since I’ve owned it. I live is the high desert so it does not see much rain or snow.
We have about 20000 miles towing with the hitch so far and have had one problem with our set up. The hitch assembly rotates or slips around, I drilled a hole in the outer frame of the hitch and my truck bed and installed a nut and bolt to keep it from rotating.The base was rotating on the flat bed of truck.

Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Trailer Coupler Adapter - Inner Tube - Round - 25K lbs
I have been very pleased with the gooseneck to 5th wheel adapter. So much so, that I bought a second one (but it was square tube not round). Having a fifth wheel camper, a flat deck trailer and a dump trailer all on fifth wheel hitches is awesome. They pull better than gooseneck (smoother), they hook up faster and nobody asks to borrow them!
Makes for a more stable hitch with the Ram Puck System, don't hear of feel the gooseneck down pipe flexing, makes hooking up easier in that I don't have to get up into the bed to close and lock the gooseneck lock. Yeah, glad I went this way. Easy install.

Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter - Lippert 1621 - 16,000 lbs
Not As Advertised and Horrible Customer Service at Reese! The pinbox came without installation hardware or directions. The hardware took a month to replace and again came without directions. The pinbox DOES NOT have the air valve as pictured. When I called Reese I was told it was due to a parts shortage and the person I spoke to told (Paul) me the new set-up was a dumb design. I TOTALLY AGEE!! To inflate one person has to literally crawl under the pinbox while hitched to inflate while another watches the bar. Not easy for a 60+ year old fat man! The valve faces OPPOSITE the bar side. Just dumb. When etrailer followed up they were basically told I have to live with it. NO - NOT HAPPY!
Goosebox works great! We have a bradford built flatbed with a recessed ball. The truck is used for work when not pulling the fifthwheel so I didn't want to cut out the trap door cover to use an anderson. The goosebox makes the fifthwheel no different then hooking up a regular gooseneck trailer but gives a much smoother ride

Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for Curt Double Lock Gooseneck Trailer Hitches - 20,000 lbs
This product fits my fifth wheel hitch well and fits in the truck hitch as well. Have not pulled with it yet as winter storms are here. I expect it to work well. Expensive for as simple as it is. Hoping it is built well. Nice That I was able to get a used one at a reduced rate. Missing the pads so we’ll see what kind of a difference that makes. Very happy with etrailer as a distributor. They make the purchase easy and quick free delivery. They Always follow up on my satisfaction with my purchase’s.
Best thing for someone who uses the entire bed of their truck. Does not make anymore noise than a standard rail kit.

Bulldog Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Coupler Adapter - Inner Tube - Square - 30,000 lbs
Great product, fast shipping, excellent communication, definitely recommend these guys!! We painted the square tube/king pin tube red and installed it. Works great, but there is not much of it to see in the pic. Take my word, well built & very heavy duty!!
I ordered this product and received it 3 days later, I took about 1 hour to remove the gooseneck tube and install this one and get the height set for towing, removed it once again and painted it due to it being bare metal. So far this seems to be a quality product.

Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter - Lippert 1716 - 16,000 lbs
THIS IS THE THIRD FIFTH WHEEL HITCH THAT I HAVE HAD SINCE 2016. IT IS HANDS DOWN THE BEST HITCH I HAVE HAD AND SEE NO OTHER REASONS TO MAKE ANY FURTHER HITCH CHANGES IN THE FUTURE. THE REASON I GAVE IT 4 STARS IS BECAUSE OF THE LIST OF IMPROVEMENTS THAT I HAVE LISTED BELOW. I HAVE HAD THE HITCH FOR 1 YEAR AND HAVE PUT APPROXIMATELY 10,000 MILES ON IT. WHAT I LIKE: -IMPROVED THE TOWING EXPERIENCE IN TERMS OF RIDE COMFORT WHEN TOWING -UPON DISCONNECTING FROM THE CAMPER, THE ONLY THING LEFT IN THE BED OF THE TRUCK IS THE GOOSE BALL. -REDUCED CHUCKING. IT ELIMINATES ABOUT 90% WHAT NEEDS TO BE IMPROVED: -THE COUPLER ON THE KING PIN NEEDS TO HAVE A FUNNEL (similar to the Anderson hitch) THIS PROVIDES A MARGIN OF ERROR WHEN RECONNECTING THE TRUCK TO CAMPER. WITH THE CURRENT COUPLER, YOU HAVE TO BE DEAD ON WHEN RECONNECTING. A CHEAP ACCESSORY TO HELP IN THE ALIGNMENT OF KING PIN TO THE GOOSE BALL ARE TELESCOPING TENNIS BALLS. -EASIER ACCESS TO PUTTING AIR IN THE AIR BLADDER. IF I KNOW THAT I NEED TO PUT AIR IN THE BLADDER, I WILL DO IT WHILE THE CAMPER IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE TRUCK. I FOUND IT EASIER TO LET AIR OUT THEN TO PUT AIR IN WHEN THE KING PIN IS CONNECTED TO THE GOOSE BALL THERE ARE SOME GOOD VIDEOS ON THE INTERNET THAT HAVE GOOD TIPS AND TRICKS THAT MAKE USING THE REESE GOOSE NECK EASIER. THIS IS ONE OF THE BETTER ONES.
The goosebox is a gamechanger. Easy hookup, no bulky hitch and smooth ride. This completely changed the towing experience of my 5th wheel.

Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Trailer Coupler Adapter - Inner Tube - Square - 25,000 lbs
I was sent the wrong trailer adapter. I ordered square tube was sent round.
The king pin adapter works great and I won't have to switch back-and-forth between gooseneck ball and fifth wheel hitch anymore. I found the best price at the etrailer.com .

Ram Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Trailer Coupler Adapter Inner Tube - Square - 30,000 lbs
Fit and function is great. Item is as described. I’m completely disappointed in the finish quality. They didn’t even bother to remove any welding soot nor splatter and definitely no paint. Hitch is covered in surface rust. The welds were burned in hot but did not wrap the gussets left holes in ones corner and a large weld droplet. No pride taken in the work. Packaging was poor with multiple holes torn in the oversized box with on piece of packaging paper that was supposed to protect this 40 pound hitch.
The 5th wheel trailer coupler adapter works very well. It's strong, solid, and we'll made. Highly recommend!

Curt X5 5th-Wheel Base Rail Adapter Plate for EZr Double Lock Gooseneck Trailer Hitch
Heavy and doesn't fit flat on my truck bed, had to add some heavy duro rubber shims between this and the bed floor. I paired this with the C611-624 gooseneck hitch.
Everything arrived in perfect condition. With a little trim of the bed liner the adapter fit perfectly as described. My Curt A-16 hitch looks great paired up with the gooseneck adapter. Ready to hit the road!
