Question:

I want to use a Ranch Hitch Universal 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter to be able to tow my 5th wheel with the gooseneck ball I already have. I have a MORryde pin box that came on my 5th wheel but it says the Ranch Adapter will not work with a cushioned pin box. Is there any other product that I can use?

Expert Reply:

The 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter Mounting Plate # MR37ZR will fit all the MORryde pin boxes and allow for you to use the Fixed Ranch Hitch # AM3100 or Offset Ranch Hitch # AM3139. You will be able to bolt or weld on the adapter plate as it comes unfinished to make welding easier. The nice thing is that you can unbolt the plate and reinstall your original plate if someone else will need to haul your 5th wheel or you trade it in for another later down the road.

If you plan to weld on the plate be sure to spray some weld through primer below the Ranch Hitch before hand to help reduce corrosion that may occur to the bare steel.
