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.

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.

Bulldog Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Coupler Adapter - Round - 25,000 lbs
Perfect for the job if you’re switching from the regular gooseneck hookup to a semi truck fifth wheel set up. Shipping was accurate & I love my adapter! Very easy to attach & real neat finish to paint it whatever color you would like to.
I bought a used trailer and wanted to replace the gooseneck coupler and redesign the frame connection. I had a number of goals in this replacement. 1) Extend radius of the frame neck. Was 73in increased to 90in. 2) Move frame connection to a lower area of tube. 3) Increase surface area frame contacts tube and add collars to tube for increased surface area for cross tube pin. 4) Convert from gooseneck to fifth wheel style connection but allow revert back if wanted. 5. Add cover over top of tube to shed water from entering tube sections. (4in PVC pipe cap with a little dremel work fits great) 6. Replace safety chains with weld on chain mounts to frame. Allow chain replacement without welding chain to frame. 7. Provide covered area for safety chains and wiring to avoid weather. After much welding and fitting the new tube and post insert are finished and painted. I am very pleased with the quality of the items from etrailer and will be placing more orders in the future for trailer parts.
