Gooseneck to 5TH Wheel Adapter For 30K Trailer With 4" Diameter Inner Tube

Published 03/26/2024

Question:

Looking for a gooseneck to 5th wheel adapter. 30k with a 4” tube. The height adjusting pin on my trailer goes through at a 90 degree. I’m a little confused as the adjusting pin appears to go through at an angle on the ones I see listed which then would result with the plate on the pin not being square when hooked to my semi. Can you recommend the adapter I need. Picture is of my current gooseneck setup on a unverferth 3755xl seed tender Thanks

The Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Trailer Coupler Adapter # KPG5-R30IP you found is our only 4" tube rated for 30K. The plate does not have to sit perfectly square inside the 5th wheel hitch as it will still latch into the coupler. You will want to face the side with the most of the raised lip towards the front so that it can more easily slide on the 5th wheel. Understanding it will not be a perfect 90 degree angle but it will still load into the hitch.
