Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter for Recessed Ball - Single Jaw - 21,000 lbs
I got a email to review this so here I am. The attachment to the bed in fantastic. I rate it at 5 stars and an it’s very easy to remove quickly. The king pin lock does not work very well after about 6 months of use. I typically have to reach into the locking mechanism to get it to release properly. Other than that is has not cracked, rusted or bent since I’ve owned it. I live is the high desert so it does not see much rain or snow.
Works as intended for it use. Biggest complaint would be the moving pieces of the hitch seem to have some slack and have since it was new.

Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter - Single Jaw - 21,000 lbs
The assembly seems very stout and sturdy overall. Was able to put the unit together in truck bed quite easily. will know more in upcoming weekend when fifth wheel trailer gets pulled home
I was a bit disappointed because when I installed the hitch per instructions, it still allowed a movement on the hitch. The hitch would actually move 1-2 inches when I would brake or accelerate the vehicle while towing. I researched and found that it was a common issue and some people were advised by etrailer technical support to torque the attachment bolts tighter. I did this as well, but with the same results. So as a result I don't pull the fifth wheel very far and am look for a solution to the issue.

Demco 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitches
This product is spot on, I installed it immediately and have used it twice. This product was an awesome option to purchase because of already having the B&W turnover ball system. This gave me the ability to install and the Curt Q24 slider to give the maneuverability needed when pulling a fifth wheel with a short box that the Anderson hitch did not provide. I have already used the slider option twice, it works flawlessly. Prior to the purchase of this Demco I purchased the Curt X5. The X5 did not work with my truck at all. The X5 did not even make contact with the bed of the truck for support. This Demco base to rails fits tightly to the bed of the truck. I have 2007 Dodge 3500. It is a short box mega cab.
It works like it should it was quick to arrive even though it weighs a lot and shipping was free. I like shopping at etrailer, they work hard to make sure everything is right and will work for my situation. They put so much information about the items they are selling so you can be confident in what you’re buying, unlike Amazon where so much of that information is so vague.
