Question:

I have a Dutchman Astoria 2503REf - has a curt hitch - I’m looking for a gooseneck adapter - I believe 16k rated - do you sell the appropriate adapter?

Hi Ernie,

Are you wanting just an adapter to connect to the pin box and then couple to a gooseneck hitch ball or are you wanting to replace your pin box with a gooseneck version? If you're wanting to just use an adapter you could go with one like the Convert-A-Ball # CAB-C5G. I'm not a huge fan of these adapters as there's a lot of little stipulations for compatibility and I much prefer a more solid design that isn't just clamped on.

If you want to swap out the pin box then I recommend going with a Gen-Y torsion pin box instead. We'd first need to determine your bolt pattern to find the right fit. If you don't know what your bolt pattern is then just look for a white sticker somewhere on the pin box that has an RPO# on it that we can use to look up the pattern. From there we'll need to know your trailer's pin weight to pick the correct capacity.
