Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter - 12" to 16" Tall - 20,000 lbs
Easy to install. One person, 30-45 minutes. Haven't towed trailer very far but now I can move the trailer with my tractor.
I have only used it once but everything worked perfectly. It was very simple to attach and seemed very solid when pulling. I have only used a 5th wheel receiver in the past and the gooseneck seems to have much more range of motion
Still working fine, no problems

Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for Curt Double Lock Gooseneck Trailer Hitches - 20,000 lbs
I use this on a 3500 Silverado which come with an original spray on bed liner. This makes my fifth wheel adapter very hard to hook to the goose-neck hitch. I virtually have to undo the main bolts and then torque them again after the adapter is hitched. Upon my complaint, I was told to simply cut out the bed-liner???? Imagine!!!! Once mounted, the fifth wheel hook up work just fine. I am lucky to own a pneumatic impact gun though....

Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter - Lippert 1621 and 0719 - 20,000 lbs
Overall a great upgrade, but not perfect. Happy to have gone this way from the previous 5th wheel hitch setup. Pros: * Having nothing in the bed of the truck, except when towing. * There is more room for a larger bed chest without the 5th wheel hitch (replaced a B&W Companion slider). * Air bag system seems less jarring on the frame of the 5th wheel than the B& W Companion / Lippert Rotaflex. * Seems to have reduced further what little "chucking" there was with the Companion/Rota-Flex setup. Cons: * Lining up to hitch is a PITA. Reese should really rethink this. * Towing is not as confidence inspiring. The trailer feels like it wallows in rough undulating turns in comparison to the 5th wheel connection. * Sits much lower than the 5th wheel pin box, so at level RV sites the bottom of the hitch is lower than the truck bed. That affects the length of RV site needed as the truck can't back under the trailer to park. * The pinbox structure requires more room in the bed, limiting what can be placed on the sides & rear of the bed. To help with hitching, I'm going to make a magnetic "sighting" system that can be seen through the rear window. something that can be tossed in the bed chest when not in use. Currently I'm using the bed camera (in the CHMSL) along with a camera that I set on the wheel well, and that is marginal at best. It still takes multiple attempts because of the limited tolerance. Once the bed chest is installed the camera will be pretty ineffective.
IF you have a gooseneck ball and a fifth wheel RV, then this is the perfect match for your rig! The Reese Goosebox changes everything! Easier hook up and unhooking. Smooth ride and easy installation. etrailer has plenty of videos for review and installation, plus you can call them and ask about it if you have any questions. I have had it for a year now and just installed it on its second camper and I would have it any other way! It is exactly what you need!
Love it!

Gen-Y Hitch 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box - Manual Latch - Lippert 1621/1621 HD - 21K - 3.5K TW
Installation took 1 hour with 2 people. Made very well. Pulled trailer great and expect ride to get better with break in. I went with 3.5k and on lighter side of recommended king pin weight. Shipping was quick and had email notifications the whole way. Will use etrailer again
Installation was very straight forward, it is heavy so you need something to prop it up for you while you get at least one bolt started in each side. I used the bucket on my tractor to hold it up. I only have one tow in so far for about 50 miles so still early to review. It certainly works as advertised for taking out a lot of the trailer feedback on rough roads, uneven transitions, etc. It is an improvement in ride quality and makes towing a big fifth wheel more comfortable. Necessary? Probably not but it does spoil you a little bit. One problem though that Gen-Y is working on fixing is the ball to pinbox is a little bit longer and I did hit the bed cap at about 60 deg of turn while backing in at an angle. It cleared when I tested it in the flat driveway, but not by much. They are going to come up with a fix. I'm at 7 1/2" clearance from the overhang to the bed caps sitting flat. This is with a '18 Chev Silverado HD 8' bed and a '19 Momentum 351M

Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitches - 20,000 lbs
Perfect! Let's me use my Reese 5th wheel hitch that I have had for 15 years and three moves, FINALLY!! Both of my one ton trucks have B&w bed hitches, so I got two for one with the Curt adapter!
Works great, I had a Reese hitch left from my old 5th wheel and two pickups with the turnover ball in the bed. This is easy to install and solid when pulling. Just what I needed.
Mike Sand - 05/07/2019This product is well made with all the welding locations being strong and perfect. Very easy to use and fits well in my BW gooseneck ball slot. I would recommend this to anyone.
Works perfectly and is very convenient.

Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter w/ Offset - 12" to 16" Tall
I bought this adaptor about a year ago and I have to say it has been worth every penny that I paid! I have an 8ft bed with a tool box in the back so having the offset worked great, giving me more ability to turn the trailer right where I needed it to get. Install was fairly simple but you'll want at least 1 more person to help since it weighs almost 90lbs. Have a torque wrench handy to. All in all I recommend this to anyone who has a gooseneck ball in the bed of their truck who wants to own a 5th wheel trailer!
Easy to install. One person, 30-45 minutes. Haven't towed trailer very far but now I can move the trailer with my tractor.

Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter - Lippert 1621 - 16,000 lbs
My camper is 4 yrs old. I was using a gooseneck offset adapter to hitch fifth wheel to truck B&W gooseneck hitch. I upgraded to the Reese 16k Goosebox with a recommendation from a friend. I am absolutely impressed by how this hitch tows. No more chucking, the airbag and shocks add a much needed level of comfort. My camper is a Starcrart AR-One Maxx 26BHS. I’m towing with a 2005 Ram 3500 4x4 CCSB. I am using the B&W offset hitch ball to create more space between the truck cab and camper bulkhead. Highly recommend this hitch to anyone looking to tow their 5’er with a gooseneck ball hitch.
The fifth wheel hitch is very well built. Easy to use and hook up. All those the trailer will buck when driving on ruff roads. It may be that I don’t have the right air pressure in the hitch. What’s your thoughts.

Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box - Lippert 1621/1621HD - 18K GTW - 2K TW
If you have a short bed truck do not buy this gooseneck. At first it seem fine but unless it’s a long bed it’s shorter than you think. If you go up a small incline sideways so the rear of your RV will not scrape it will give enough to crush the side of your truck. I thought the gooseneck would give me a little more length or space and it did not it was actually shorter only in a long bed truck would you get better space
The gen-y hitch is awesome. Very glad I switched from 5th wheel to gooseneck. Love having the extra space and with the removal of the puck ball I have a full open bed. The gen-y torsion system makes for a smooth ride

Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box - Lippert 1116/1716 - 18K GTW - 2K TW
Bolted right on. And my camper tows better than ever! I have a flatbed with a recessed ball. The 5th wheel hitch was just too high. Causing the camper to ride nose high. This solved all those problems and cleared up my bed too!
Installation took 1 hour with 2 people. Made very well. Pulled trailer great and expect ride to get better with break in. I went with 3.5k and on lighter side of recommended king pin weight. Shipping was quick and had email notifications the whole way. Will use etrailer again

Ranch Hitch Universal 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter w/8" Offset for Short-Bed Trucks
Very easy to install and the directions were very easy to understand and follow.
I have been using the Ranch Hitch #3100 Straight Adapter for 3 years. Converting the 5th wheel to goose neck was awesome. Much easier to hook up and a smoother, quieter pull. After purchasing a new trailer I noticed that the trailer was too close to the cab of my short bed truck. I found the Ranch Hitch #3139 with 8" offset adapter. It installs easy and gives me 8 more inches away from my truck cab. Excellent! Turning corners is much more comfortable!
Still holding up great, super gooseneck Ranch hitch
