Hey William, thanks for reaching out!
Gooseneck hitches and 5th wheel brackets use the same mounting locations, so you won't be able to install them together, but we have a wide variety of gooseneck to 5th wheel adapters that allow you to use your plate for 5th wheel towing.
For example, we have the Demco Recon # DM8550045 which attaches to the gooseneck hitch ball and provides a connection for the king pin, or we also have the Reese Goose Box # RP94716 that replaces a standard 1621 pin box and secures directly to the gooseneck hitch ball as well.
Which style would you rather use? I'd be happy to help you pinpoint the exact part you need!
