How to Determine Fit of Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter for Recessed Ball
Updated 03/01/2022 | Published 02/27/2022
Question:
From the center of my ball to the edge of my recessed valley it measures 6 1/2 inches and 5 inches from center of ball to side walls and the ball sticks up about an 1/8th to a 1/4 inch over the bed.. would this work for me.

Expert Reply:
The square plate that attaches to the tube and fits in the recess for your gooseneck ball on the Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # DM8550046 measures 8" long x 5" wide. Based on your measurements this will fit.
The other requirement is that the top of the hitch ball is not more than 13/16" above the non recessed portion of your bed. Since your ball sticks up 1/8"-1/4" above the bed you also meet this requirement, so you will be able to use this adapter.
