Set screws are enough no welding or bolt to the kingpin plate?

Expert Reply:
The Convert-A-Ball 5th wheel to gooseneck adapter, # CAB-C5G, does not require welding, bolting it into place will be secure. Adding an adapter is meant to be more temporary than permanent which is why welding is not needed.
The Ranch hitch, # AM3100, also bolts on but has more mounting hole options that the Covert-A-Ball. This adapter also has a higher pin weight capacity at 6,000 pounds so I would recommend it. You will also need some safety chains, # AM3109.
