Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter - 12" to 16" Tall - 20,000 lbs
After installing this adapter I noticed it was flexing the frame of my trailer. The added stress from the adapter is more than the 5th wheel pin box was designed for. It didn't say anything about this in the product description. I called etrailer to see if I could exchange the adapter for a proper 5th wheel setup and they told me because I had used it once they couldn't help me. Be careful with these things, your trailer may not have been designed with them in mind.
I was looking to maximize the space in my bed and didn't want a heavy fifth wheel hitch to move in and out. I reached out to the pros at etrailer and they helped me pick the right setup. I chose to go with the Curt hideaway hitch and the Convert-A-Ball. I couldn't be more happy with their service and fast delivery.

B&W Companion Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter - Dual Jaw - 20,000 lbs
I decided to buy the Champion fifth wheel hitch to pull a fifth wheel camper, my 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 already had a B&W goose neck hitch in it. The champion hitch allowed me to also have a fifth wheel hitch with out drilling and mounting more weight to the truck. The instructions for assembly were clear and easy to follow making the assembly of the hitch easy. The hitch fit snug and there is no play in it. The 26' fifth wheel camper pulled nicely, no surging or swaying.
Make sure to have two people for installation. The only reason this is a must is due to the weight of the items and safety. The installation was not bad, the only item that is worth mentioning to watch for is near the end of the installation instructions. The jaws release lever has two bolts to hold it onto the receiver plate itself. The top is a rounded head with allen wrench style fittings. Unfortunately even though it seems like the allen wrench would hold the minute you put any torque on the nut it spins. I ended up replacing both immediately before fully tightening to ensure the handle was solid in place. As both bolts have no load or weight to them this was an easy decision to make. Everything you can tell is built solid and is pure steel, this thing should not go anywhere! Also to note I have my height adjustment for the plate at the highest setting and my tonneau cover still fully covers the truck bed without touching!
It has been great, no issues and still pulling my fifth wheel without any incident. I did have to adjust the plate down all the way but that was to even out the trailer angle to raise backend of camper more so as not to hit back end on anything. Easy enough if you have a torque power drill to take all the bolts off and move, then just make sure to use torque wrench again to the 80lbs required.

Bulldog Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Coupler Adapter - Inner Tube - Round - 25,000 lbs
Ordered on Friday afternoon and received the following Tuesday. Very simple installation. No longer have to crank the gooseneck up or down to connect to truck. Very satisfied with this product and the price was very reasonable.
Still loving it. Hook up is so much easier
Dean Barber - 03/28/2021excellent product performs as needed . like it so well we just left it on trailer to only use with tractor.Would like to even look into changing pickup over to fifth wheel so it would be easier to hook up trailers with loads.The only issue I had was a small bead that was on the inside of trailer tube that hindered insertion of hitch.Would definitly do it again. We put it on flat bed gooseneck trailer to use with semi so it would free up pickup
product is still performing well makes hooking up gooseneck so much easier

Hi-Rise Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter by Bulldog, Draw-Tite and Reese
Well built. Easy to use. Handles my 33' Alpenlite with ease. Removes very quickly for use of the bed. Good instructions and assembles quickly.
Other than being heavy to set in the truck bed, the hitch is easy to install into a B&W gooseneck and it stayed well secured without any shifting of the base for a 400 mile round trip towing a10k lb trailer. The 4 degree side to side tilt does not seem necessary and it does make it difficult to properly torque the mounting nut. The side to side tilt also adds a good bit of weight.

Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter w/ Offset - 12" to 16" Tall
This is my first 5th wheel but I have several other gooseneck trailers that I tow on a regular basis. I didn't want to have to switch back and forth so I bought this adapter. I have a long bed but I have a chase rack on it that goes up over the cab. I really didn't want to have to remove it every time I wanted to tow my new toy hauler so I got the offset hitch. Install was very straight forward. Took me about 40 min. to install. The hardest part was getting the bolts in as mine has the long pin box and it was all I could do to reach the holes. I don't have very many miles on it but it tows great. I didn't notice any difference from my other gooseneck trailers.
After a year in still very satisfied and glad I went this route.
Pierre B. - 12/31/2017So far so good. The order was processed perfectly. I just got the Convert a ball cushioned 5th wheel to goose-neck adapter with offset. I haven't even opened the boxes yet but when I do I'm sure I will have the same sense of satisfaction I get whenever I open something I've ordered from E-trailer. My satisfaction level right now is 100%. I will share photo's of the install.

Ram Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Trailer Coupler Adapter - Round - 30K
Fit perfect, works great
I ordered this item and within 2 days it had arrived. Installing it didn’t take over 10 minutes! I use my truck to work during the week and pull my 5th wheel on the weekend! Only thing I’d recommend purchasing is a lube plate to put on the hitch, that way you don’t have to deal with a greasy mess! I’d recommend this hitch to anyone!
The product is holding up well and works great. It is very convenient being able to switch from my camper to my gooseneck without having the change the hitch out!

Ram Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Trailer Coupler Adapter Inner Tube - Square - 30,000 lbs
Fit perfect, works great
We purchased the adapter to replace a new one from another supplier that had broken during operation costing thousands of dollars. This one was built much better and we are happy with the quality still one year later.

Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for Curt Double Lock Gooseneck Trailer Hitches - 20,000 lbs
After using this adapter for a year it's proven to be durable and easy to use. It's nice not having those rails in the bed of my truck! If there is a draw back it would be weight as far as installing it when you're ready to use it but you can't expect it to be light weight when it has to perform a job like handling a heavy fifth wheel. I recommend it highly!
Fits perfectly into curt goose neck hitch. My reese 5th wheel hitch fits on the rails perfect. I haul dirt bikes in my truck so being able to take the rails out is perfect..... nothing in the way of loading or unloading

Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitches - 20,000 lbs
Received the Curt X5 B&W turnover ball adapter yesterday. Would have been easier to drop in with two people but I was able to do it myself. Dropped right in, and in less then 15 seconds it was dropped and locked. Saved me lots of install time on 5th wheel rails. Set my RBW lil' rocker hitch on and pulled my 10,000 lbs 32' 5th wheel across town without issue. I feel that this is probably the strongest way to go when running a 5th wheel to turnover ball adapter, and its only about $*** which is a fraction of the cost for those other weird complex adapters that side load or flex. Customer feedback was great with optimal response time on my questions.
Managed to get my hands on a curt E16 5th wheel hitch and couldn’t be happier with the combination. The drop in weighs 100lbs and is honestly really easy to install. The hardest part is getting it from where it’s stored to the back of the truck.

B&W Companion Slider Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter - Dual Jaw - 20,000 lbs
I purchased the B&W 20K Companion Slider & Underbed Mount System (UMS) for my 2015 Ford F150 extended cab (with 6 foot bed) over a year ago because it was the only solution that was removable. Construction and finish was very nice and still looks great. Installation wasn't too difficult but the 4” hole in the bed needs to be exact otherwise getting it square will be very difficult. Overall the slider works great but must be mounted directly on the bed and cannot be mounted over a plastic bed liner. Once installed everything worked great however after numerous trips I've yet to need or use the slider backing up as I can turn 80+ degrees without ever hitting or coming close to the truck cab (towing 2018 Cougar Half Ton Series 5th wheel). Also the slider is very heavy (head 75 lbs + base 207 lbs = 282 lbs) to remove and install (takes two people or an overhead winch). Plus the overall hitch weight (head, base & UMS is 394 lbs) puts me very close to the GVWR once the truck & trailer is fully loaded hence in hindsight I probably should have gone with the fixed 5th wheel hitch (total just 318 lbs compared to 400 lbs) instead as it would have saved 81 lbs and costs $489 less but at least I have the option to slide it back if ever needed.
Upgraded to the B&W slider from an Anderson Ultimate. The reason was the short bed truck I'm pulling with. Initially the hitch was awesome and slid easily. While it says there is no lubrication required, it started sliding really hard (had to hold the trailer brakes and jerk the truck forward pretty hard to get it to slide back). I tried dry lube - no better. Finally shot some wd-40 on the slide bars and under the hitch and it's back to gliding pretty well. Another shortfall are the rubber bumpers that are and the end of each slide rail - they don't hold the hitch tight enough in position so I do get some noise as the hitch moves (ever so slightly) back and forth. The hitch is solid (heavy) and well built. If buying again I'd likely get an auto slider even with the extra weight it costs me in the bed of the truck

Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter - Single Jaw - 21,000 lbs
I wish I had known in advance that the hitch was coming in 2 parcels and that they wouldn't arrive together, but the hitch itself is great! Assembly is simple and I can quickly disassemble into 3 pieces for easy storage in a bay. Although it states that the top plate is 15 1/2" above bed, it is actually 16 1/2" at the lowest setting and I ended up adjusting my pin box to compensate so everything rides level. All things to be expected. It is much easier than hitching up to a gooseneck, especially since my tool box blocks the view of the hitch. It rides smooth with no discernible bucking on the road. I highly recommend this hitch and especially the people that I bought it from. etrailer has been great to deal with. Pics will follow when the weather clears.
Ive owned it and used it for a year now and still highly recommend it to anyone with a Gooseneck hitch in their rig. Id add some pics showing how level everything sits, but not sure how to do that now.
William - 01/28/2021The hitch is easy to ensemble. Great design. Pulled my trailer great! But when I hooked up the second time to the trailer the roll pin that goes in the locking bar fell out. Wasn't a really big deal. But if I hadn't had any tools and a 1/4" bolt with a lock nut I probably won't have been able to hook up. Maybe they could change that. The best adapter from gooseneck to fifth wheel.But all in all very happy with it.
This product is far superior than the rest of the other adapters. It mounts on the gooseneck easy and even if I didnt have a gooseneck trailer or gooseneck hitch on my truck this product is better than any other fifth wheel than that Ive had in the past. Plus it gives me the best of both ways to haul any trailer.??

B&W Companion Flatbed Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter - Dual Jaw - 22,000 lbs
I am very impressed with the quality of this BW 5th wheel hitch. I chose it because it what is recommended for use on my new flatbed for my truck. The flatbed is designed with this hitch in mind. It fits perfectly in the gooseneck well and is easy to install/remove. Just tighten/loosen the tension bolt and slide the locking pin to switch from gooseneck ball to 5th wheel. Going with this hitch and a flatbed makes trailering so much easier. No more step ladders, standing on running boards or tire to reach the hitch handle. Just reach over, grab the handle to open/close the jaws and set the safety pin. Highly recommend it.
My B&W hitch is still working great and Im very happy with my purchase.
Sppedy - 08/19/2020What a great hitch ! I had purchased a 5th wheel RV about three weeks ago and thought without a doubt that I would be drilling holes in flatbed and be paying 1500 to 1800 to have a hitch installed. Thanks to B&W I was able to install this hitch in less than an hour with no other expense other that the hitch itself. Our first trip cover about 400 miles the hitch had absolutely no slack or play in towing. A great product . Precision made in the USA, Thank you !!

Demco 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitches
I like this adapter. It drops right in to where my turn over ball goes, secures just like the turn over ball with one added bolt for extra security, and the the hitch mounts to it. It is easily removed so that I can still quickly utilize a goose neck with my turn over ball. I rate this model a 4 star as it only works with 2 widths of hitches. My original hitch did not work but bought one that did. The 2 sizes are relatively common sizes. I recommend this for those that do not want to remove their turn over ball hitches and want a quick and easy way to move from 5th wheel to gooseneck connection.
Heavy and Built like a tank. One to three people will be needed in installing, one or two people to place in the flip over receiver and one person to pull the locking pin. Direct fit for the Demco Recon fifth wheel hitch. Very well packed with all necessary parts securely attached to item.

B&W Turnoverball Adapter for Trailers with Inverted Gooseneck Hitches
This is a great replacement for a 5th wheel plate. I have different trailers and this saves a lot of time and work would recommend this highly
It is exactly what I ordered but I am surprised how poorly the pin clip is designed. I am going to have to replace it with a pin that has a hole for a clip because any vibration will allow this pin it came with to unclip.
Very good I have towed a fifth wheel camper, it tows very nicely, there is no play in the hitch in the goose neck adapter, and no slop in the fifth wheel at the trailer
