Question:

I have a 03 freightliner sportchassis with a gooseneck ball already mounted to the plate. I now have 5th wheel camper I would like to pull with it the bolt hole pattern I have is 15x20 7/8. Do you have any hitches to fit that pattern. The trailer weighs roughly 18500-20000lbs. I dont want to drill any more holes. Scared it might weaken the plate probably wouldnt but it was installed by the factory.

Helpful Expert Reply:

From the description you gave it sounds like the gooseneck ball is attached to the plate installed on the bed of your Freightliner.

I recommend the Ranch Hitch Universal 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter, part # AM3100. This attaches to any standard 2-5/16 inch gooseneck ball and allows you to be able to tow a fifth-wheel trailer with the gooseneck hitch.

This adapter has a 24,000 lb towing capacity and a 6,000 lb tongue weight capacity. This adapter requires no drilling into the plate you said is installed on your truck.
