Question:
i have a 5 ton truck with a custom made fold away fifth wheel hitch, but i only pull gooseneck trailers. Is there an adapter that will fit in a fifthwheel hitch to convert to a 2 5/16inch goosneck ball?

Expert Reply:
If the fifth wheel hitch is mounted using industry-standard 5th wheel rails (see photo), you can simply remove the existing fifth wheel, and mount an adapter like # 16055. If your gooseneck trailer has a removable coupler, we offer some king pins that will actually slide into the square or round tube the coupler fits into. For a round 4 inch diameter tube, use # KPG5-R25-IP or # KPG5-Q25-IP for a square tube that measures 4 inches square.
If you have some other set up, please reply with a photo, and I'd be happy to help further.
