• Are Safety Chains Required On Gooseneck Trailer Using a Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Adapter
  The laws can be a little fuzzy and vary from state to state but it seems like if the trailer couples to a ball then you have to have safety chains. Technically, by using Bulldog adapter # BD0289640300 the gooseneck trailer is no longer coupling to a ball so logic dictates you would not need safety chains. However the safest thing to do would be to continue using safety chains and avoiding any possible tickets or fines. If you need a heavy duty safety chain we have # FCHA0070324 ( sold...

  We do have a hitch head kit that will work with your rails if you have the Reese Elite Series Under-Bed Rails, part # RP30868. It is the Reese Adapter, part # RP30158.

• Orientation Of Bulldog Gooseneck To 5TH Wheel Adapter On Trailer and Lube Plate Recommendation
  The Bulldog Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Coupler Adapter - Inner Tube # BD0289640300 is designed to be a replacement for their Bulldog Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Coupler Adapter # BD0289580300 which does have the pin hole located 15 degrees off center of your 90 degree coupler.

• Adjustable Gooseneck To 5th Wheel King Pin Assembly
  We don't have one that says anything that is compatible with a crank adjuster, but we do have the tube adapters you mentioned.

This is 4 inches square outside measurement. If you are looking for a hitch that works in standard 5th wheel rails and works with a gooseneck...

  We have a few inner tubes only that fit inside the gooseneck trailer outer tube and will allow you to tow the trailer with a 5th wheel trailer hitch. Adapter # BD0289640300 is a popular option.

• Recommended Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Hitch Adapter
  It sounds like your 5th wheel trailer already has what it needs and you just need the adapter for the Ram Gooseneck if I understand correctly. If your gooseneck hitch has a round tube, then I recommend the Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Trailer Coupler Adapter # KPG5-R30IP. If it has the square tube, then I recommend the Ram Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Trailer Coupler Adapter Inner Tube - Square - 30,000 lbs # KPG5-Q30IP which has a 4 inch tube. Both options have a plate that is 9-7/8 by 9-7/8 inches....

• Does Bulldog Gooseneck to Fifth Wheel Adapter Need Pin Hole
  Hey Jake, so you would need to use the pin hole that the adapter has so since your setup doesn't have that I would instead recommend the part # BD0289580300 which comes with it's own outer tube that has a matching pin. You could add the hole to your setup if you really wanted to though.

• Is there a Gooseneck Trailer to 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with an Offset for a 2012 Dodge Ram
  You have to be careful using both a slider and an offset because that creates extra stress on the trailer frame and hitch. Another thing to look at is if the 5th wheel hitch you use can be used with an adapter. On some, you can't. Another option is to use Husky Gooseneck Hitch, # HT31368, in the offset position. It fits in industry standard above the bed rails and offers 3 inches of offset. Then use B&W Extend-A-Goose, # BWTEXA4200, which is offset 10 inches. This will give you 13 inches...

The diameters and hole spacing are the same.

• Is B&W Companion Hitch a Good Replacement for Gooseneck Hitch Setup
  You are going to be very happy with the B and W Companion Hitch part # BWRVK3500 which will fit directly to your B and W Turnoverball gooseneck hitch.
