• Curt X5 Adapter for B&W Gooseneck Trailer Hitch
  Fora B&W Turnover gooseneck hitch with a square opening, you will need Curt X5 adapter, # 16310, instead of adapter # C16220.

  First, make sure that when using the Curt X5 adapter, # C16220, that you are putting it into a compatible Curt Gooseneck trailer hitch (Curt EZr double-lock gooseneck hitches).

• Will the Curt Q24 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Fit the X5 Adapter # C16220
  Yes, a Curt Q24 hitch, # C16245, will fit the X5 adapter # C16220. But the adapter is limited to 20,000 pounds gross trailer weight so you are limited to 20K even though the hitch is rated higher.
