It sounds like your 2012 Ford F-250 long bed pickup has the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1111. This gives you a great way to convert for 5th wheel towing.
You can add the B&W Companion 5th wheel hitch # BWRVK3500 which drops right into the gooseneck ball hole in the bed. This 20K 5th wheel offers beefy 1-inch-thick dual jaws for excellent king pin contact and a fully-articulating head for easier hitching. Unlike adapters that can introduce extra stress into the trailer frame (and even void your frame warranty), this type of set-up completely avoids that issue.
If you need a replacement wiring harness you can use part # 50-97-410.
