Finding the Correct Size Fifth-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter

After backing the vehicle under the trailer, measure from the top of the ball in the truck bed to the base of the pin box on the trailer. This will indicate the height of the adapter that you need.


Convert-a-Ball Collar

Secure Installation

The included collar slides over your fifth-wheel trailer's king pin and is held in place with set screws. Additional, larger set screws that are mounted at the top of the coupler adapter then tighten onto the collar.


Convert-a-Ball Locking Feature

Positive-Locking Feature

This trailer coupler adapter features a simple, secure latching mechanism for safe, easy hookup with the hitch ball. The convenient extension handle grabs the sliding latch so that you can easily lock or unlock the coupler from outside the truck bed. Once the coupler is engaged, hook the handle through the hole in the sliding latch's track to ensure that it remains securely coupled. For extra safety, once the coupler is latched, you can replace the handle with a padlock (sold separately) to secure the trailer to the hitch ball during towing. Use a lock while your trailer is being stored to guard against towaway theft.


Pin Box Length

Note: There are no recommended limits to the length of pin box on which the Convert-A-Ball trailer coupler can be used.

Hitch just installed on 5th wheel. I think you should have included a tool for the 3/8" allen screws and the 4 bolts & nuts. I live in a rural area and had to do some serious hunting for the allen screws, which translates to a lot of wasted time. You should put in your instructions to predrill the holes before installing the hitch. Will have to remove hitch to drill bolt holes. Product looks great, will do truck hookup in a couple of days. Don't expect any problems

Product is fine, I hate hooking up, you have to be so precise, will go back to a regular 5th wheel this fall



by:

This worked out great for my needs and made it possible to move the camper I needed to move without buying some complicated hitch assembly. My only complaint was that it was a little too tall causing the camper to ride more on the rear tires, but it was manageable . Maybe this was result of my tow vehicle .. but there was not enough adjustment to lower it down. Still it worked good.
I added the 4 bolts around the top to make the installation even stronger. As I did not trust it with only the lock bolts to the pin. Overall A+ Got the job done.

Owned a year. This is our findings. Easy to install. Easy to use. Works great with our f450 gooseneck and fifth wheel trailer!



by:

The Convert-A-Ball was installed on my new 34 foot 5th wheel trailer today. I drove the trailer home from C & R trailers which is 30 miles. The drive was smooth and no trailer clunking noise. I have a son that has your Convert-A-Ball product on his trailer and they love it. I am sure I will too.



by:

I bought this to move my fifth wheel camper with a truck set up to pull a gooseneck horse trailer. It was easy to install and worked great. I have moved my camper about half a dozen times since I purchased with no issues. I’m so glad I didn’t pay double or triple the money for another brand to do exactly the same thing. Would definitely recommend



by:

This product was very easy to install and worked flawlessly I would defiantly recommend it for use in converting your fifth wheel to a gooseneck hitch



by:

The Product installed with no problem. I just got back from a 900 mi. round trip to Utah. I was in elevations from 1000 ft above sea level to 9000 ft. above sea level. I It hooks up very easy and is very good compared the my old system. I would have given it a Excellent except that it (rotated) turned about 1/4 of an inch.on the king pin as you can see on the Photos. I will be drilling holes in the King Pin Extension and putting in the four bolts before I take it out again. I was suprised that I did not receive the optional bolts nor was I asked if I wanted them. .I did order on line so I accept responsibility for it. At no time did I feel any safty issues.
I had replaced the suspension on my trailer with the easy ride system and combined with your Convert-A-Ball Cushioned System my wife said there was a huge emprovement and I also felt a big difference it the Truck. It is a well engineered product and my raiting will go to Excellent after I put in the four Bolts. You can send me the bolts or I will get my own.
Attached are some photos of my Truck and Trailer.
The Trailer is a 2000 Forrest River Sierra Sport Toy Hauler.

How do you plan on installing the 4 additional bolts?

In the installation instructions Convert-A-Ball discusses the optional installation of additional bolts. However, these bolts are available only for the customer to contact the manfucturer, and are not sold individually. To gain access this is usually done by disassembling the pin box, or by drilling access holes in the plate, but this all depends on the configuration of your pin box, and if this adapter is intended to be a temporary or a permanent solution.

I did as I said I would do and I drilled four hole in the pin box and installed four bolts. I feel much more confident in the system. I am very happy with it at this time. To drill the holes I removed the pin box and used the adapter for a pattern, I then drilled the holes by hand. 1/2 in Drill

Raymond L.: My Ram is a 3500 4X4 SRW It has the 8Ft bed. I pulled the same Toy Hauler with two different Quad Cab PUs over the years with 6-12 ft. beds. One 2WD and one 4X4 before this one. I ordered this P/U as a Std. Cab. It is set up like a Laramie inside. towing I get 10-13 MPG. Empty 22 MPG It tows at any speed I want in the Mountains.



by:

I recently bought a 36ft 5th wheel toy hauler and needed a way to pull it, we didn't really want to install a 5th wheel hitch because we didn't want the extra holes in the bed of the truck so we bought this. I was nervous at first but this hitch adapter work very well. It mounted to the 5th wheel easily and sat right on the gooseneck ball that came built into our truck. It also disconnected from the truck with ease. We have left it hooked onto the camper for now for quick movement if needed.

I am still using the goose neck adapter, I now take it off if my camper is parked for a while just to reduce stress on the front end of the 5th wheel. I would recommend!



by:

I just wanted to tell the folks at etrailer how great of an experance I had ordering from them. I ordered a 5th wheel to gooseneck adapter. From the time the phone rang until Wayne had taken my order was less than 2 minutes. These people know their stuff and the price was great. The install was flawless, fit perfect. I was kept informed several times by e mail what the status of my order was. My order came a day early even during a holiday week.
I am sure glad to have some room in my p/u bed while pulling my 5th wheel.
Thanks Wayne and thanks etrailer

Danny I notice you have a morryde pin box on your trailer. did you change the skid plate over to the morryde RPB77006 gooseneck adapter plate. to use this adapter?



by:

Installation is a breeze. I'm a short but stocky guy so installing it by myself wasn't hard at all. I just lowered the trailer to where I had enough leverage to hold the adapter up and be able to tighten the bolts down with the other hand. Torqued everything down to spec and was on the road in no time. Pulled off after 50 miles and retorqued everything as any good transporter does. This is where my review gets bad. The bolts that hold the adapter to the kingpin couple failed. They crushed on the ends and damaged the threads. Keep in mind, I followed the torque specs TWICE. I didn't have the twisting issues that others have had. It took me 30 min with a pull bar and a piece of pipe to get the bolts backed off enough to get the adapter off the kingpin coupler. Today I spent 30 min working ONE bolt completely out of the adapter and this is what I found. I am in contact with etrailer to get it resolved. The bolts and the inner threads are damaged. Hopefully this is just a lemon and I will get a replacement hassle free. Other than this, this is a great design and towed well.

by:

I purchased this adapter before the note of not to be used with air ride 5th wheel hitches was added so now I am stuck with a 50lb paper weight. Don’t be me…listen to the notes that are now attached or you will spend a half hour every fuel stop retightening the adapter so you don’t lose your rv enroute.

I am so happy i made this change ! No more fifth wheel in the box ! I did buy a 1 inch taller ball for this year. Works awesome !

I did not encounter any problems with this Gooseneck Adaptor. Glad someone invented it. Pulled my Arctic Fox Grande Ronde 100s of miles through California.

I want to thank Etrailer for the great customer service I received. Emily H, was very helpful in the process of my purchase. The c5g _1216 converter ball adapter was a very well made and sturdy product. And will handle the 39ft toyhauler that I have it installed on. The installation was very easy and simple. So thanks again Etrailer for a great product and fast delivery, and great customer service.

When I first received it I thought it would work out. But after using it for a couple of months, I had to remove it. The ride quality was terrible and the jerky ride while towing was unbearable. Plus the additional stress it put on the frame of my fifth wheel trailer over time would cause even more problems. So I removed it and installed a Curt fifth wheel hitch and now the ride is much better and smoother with no jerkiness. Would not recommend this adapter at all.



by:

This is still such a great buy. We have pulled our 5th wheel from Oregon to Florida to Alabama and back to Florida. This is so easy to use and holds up great. Highly recommended



by:

Easy to install I set the hitch on my jd gator and used the trailer jacks to let down on the hitch. I also bolted the hitch on (just for peace of mind).After install I did a test run of sixty miles. Worked great there was no jerking or push pull motion at all, as some reviews have said.A few months lator we went on a 500 mile trip with no problems.My truck is a 3500 dodge dually diesel.Now I can pull my farm trailers and camper on the same hitch, no moving 5th wheel in and out of truck!My camper weights 13,000 lbs.



by:

Excellent Product! Less than 10 minutes to install. A true quality product, that I am glad I purchased instead of a overpriced hitches that fills up the truck bed and is too heavy for one person to lift.

It was a day later than expected but the product is exactly what I ordered ,a quality product, thanks e-railer!

Works great, no need for a fifth wheel



by:

Hitch goes on easy and works great. It would be great if it came with the permanent mounting as mentioned in the instructions.



by:

I was looking to maximize the space in my bed and didn't want a heavy fifth wheel hitch to move in and out. I reached out to the pros at etrailer and they helped me pick the right setup. I chose to go with the Curt hideaway hitch and the Convert-A-Ball. I couldn't be more happy with their service and fast delivery.



by:

Put this on a 42' fifth wheel. Moved it from Phoenix to Missouri. Worked perfectly as expected. No issues on many of the curvy/hilly roads on SW Missouri.
I checked it repeatedly, wondering if it would loosen up at all. Nope - everything stayed tight. Thumbs up.



by:

This product was a great way to keep the bed of my truck clear by using my flip up goose neck ball to pull my new 5th wheel. I just got back from my first trip pulling through Washington, Oregon, and Idaho and it pulled smooth and great! I had conditions from very hilly two lane roads with 6% slopes to 75mph interstates. I do have to say that the included release lever (the one you can use from the side of the truck) doesnt make any difference because you still have to climb into the truck to remove the chains. Also my truck is a F250 which sits stock a little taller and in the lowest (12") position the trailer rides at an angle up to the truck bed (photo)so a good idea to measure closely before purchase.

  • Adapter For MORryde Cushioned Pin Box With Fabex 750 Bolt Pattern To Use Gooseneck Hitch
    I do have a recommendation as based on your Dimensions it sounds like you have a Fabex 750 style pin box. Currently the Trailair Air Ride 5th Wheel King Pin # UF35-946212 is our only product that will bolt to this old pin box bolt pattern. To go to a gooseneck ball connection I recommend installing the 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter Mounting Plate # MR37ZR. This will then allow you to weld on either the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter # CAB-C5G for long bed...

  • Recommended Solution for Using a Gooseneck Hitch to Tow a 5th Wheel Trailer w/ a Rota Flex Pin Box
    I have a solution for you but the Convert-A-Ball item # CAB-C5G gooseneck adapter cannot be used with a Rota Flex pin box. The additional flex of two cushioning devices creates leveraged angles that can break both pin box parts and mess up your truck. Instead you are going to want to use the Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter item # DM8550045. This adapter will attach to the gooseneck ball in your truck's bed. It is compatible with Rota Flex pin boxes.

So it will be perfect for your 30" long pin box. The Convert-a-ball adapter # CAB-C5G has a towing capacity of 20,000 lbs and a pin weight capacity of 4,000 lbs. I have linked our review video below if you want to take a look.

    Yes, the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter # CAB-C5G would be an excellent choice for your 2004 Ram 3500 with a long bed. This adapter is great because unlike most of the other adapters it is cushioned and comes with safety chains. I attached a review video for this product for you to check out as well. You are also well below the capacities for this adapter since it can handle 20,000 lbs total trailer weight and 4,000 lbs of pin weight.

  • Fifth Wheel to Gooseneck Hitch Adapter for Trailer with Leland 7921 Pin Box
    For a Leland pin box the best fifth wheel to gooseneck adapter is going to be the Convert a Ball part # CAB-C5G that you referenced. Only issue is that since you have a short bed truck you aren't going to have great turning clearance. Ideally you'd have a hitch that a rail adapter could fit like the X5 part # 16310 for B and W hitches or the # C16210 for Curt double lock hitches so that you could use a slider hitch like the Curt A20 Slider part # C16541.
