The Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter # CAB-C5G is a great option for a fifth wheel trailer if you are looking for an adapter so long as you keep a couple of things in mind.

The Convert-A-Ball is not compatible with Sidewinder king pins or other king pins that have a rotating turret; it should also not be used with Reese Elite Series gooseneck trailer hitches.

Additionally you just need to measure from the top of your gooseneck hitch ball to the base of your pin box to ensure it is between 12 inches and 16 inches for the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter # CAB-C5G to work.

As long as you have the correct height measurement and your B&W Turnoverball gooseneck has a 2-5/16" hitch ball you can use the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter # CAB-C5G with this hitch.
