Video Transcript for etrailer Gooseneck and Fifth Wheel Adapters - Adapts Trailer - KPG5-R30 Review

Today, we're going to take a look at the round tube Gooseneck to fifth wheel trailer coupler adapter. It has a 30,000 pound weight capacity. Now, this Gooseneck to fifth wheel adapter will let you tow your Gooseneck trailer with a fifth wheel hitch. The very bottom of the plate here, you can see the king pin that'll slide into most fifth wheel hitches. It uses this round inner tube, and then it's inserted into this outer tube. This whole unit will replace most standard round Gooseneck couplers on your trailer.

It is an adjustable height four-hole design. Basically, one, two, there's a third, and then there's a fourth one right here, so you can slide the inner tube up and down into the outer tube to fit the correct height for your application. This is a sturdy steel construction. It has the heavy gusseting right down here. You can see between the tube and the plate. This will give you a lot more support.

It is a raw finish. A heavy duty, load bearing pin right here, and the clip is included. Then, there's two set bolts also. Basically, what happens is when you get your correct height, slide your load bearing pin through the hole, clip it into place, and then tighten down your set bolts and lock them into place. If you notice right around where the load bearing pin goes through the hole, around on the outer tube it has this nice extra plate reinforcement. Now, this is SEJ2738 compliant.

A few specs on this. I want to measure for you. The inner tube diameter is going to be 4" outside to outside. The outer tube is going to be 4 1/2". Now, the range of vertical height adjustment, using these four holes, is going to be 8".

Basically, if you measured from the center of this bottom hole all the way up to the center of the fourth hole, that measurement would be 8". From hole to hole and center to center, it does measure 2 11/16". Total length of this outer tube is 20". A pin hole diameter that this low grain 00:01:47 pin goes through is 7/8". Then, the dimensions on the plate right here at bottom, it's a square plate, so it's going to be 10" by 10". The king pin that's on the bottom of the plate that goes into the fifth through hitch, it is an industry standard 2" diameter king pin. The weight capacity, again, is 30,000 pounds. That should do it for the review on the round tube Gooseneck to fifth wheel trailer coupler adapter with a 30,000 pound weight capacity.
