Question:
I have a 2004 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD Duramax and I have the hidden goose neck. I am looking at a Fuzion toy hauler about 38 foot and I would like to see if there is an adapter that will allow me to use the goose neck but still have room to turn into a camping spot. I have been told that I will not have a good turning radius and have to go with the fifth wheel. I use my truck for other hauling and would hate to take the fifth wheel out all the time. I appreciate your assistance

Expert Reply:
Only way you'll have turning clearance with your 2004 Chevy Silverado 2500HD is with a slider fifth wheel hitch. The big draw back to gooseneck hitches is the short bed application where you need turning clearance and they don't have a way to do that.
Best option is a B and W gooseneck hitch like part # BWGNRK1067 and then the slider hitch adapter for this hitch part # BWRVK3400.
