Question:
We’re shopping for a used fifth wheel and our truck only has a gooseneck setup. What trailers are easiest to convert to gooseneck?

Wendy - that's an interesting question, but good thinking because 5th wheel hitches are a bit of a pain and are quite heavy/bulky compared to a single ball in the bed. Look for fifth wheels with Lippert 1116, 1716, 1621, or Rhino pin boxes - MORryde makes a GooseTech for each.
# MR77MV for Lippert 1116 11,500 lbs to 14,000 lbs Gross Towing Weight
# MR39MV for Lippert 1716 11,500 lbs to 14,000 lbs Gross Towing Weight
# MR97MV for Lippert 1621 14,000 lbs to 18,000 lbs Gross Towing Weight
# MR24MV for Lippert Rhino 18,000lbs + Gross Towing Weight
There are options for other pin boxes as well, but these are among the most common that you'll find.
Whatever you choose, plan on adding chain kit # GY49GR with the conversion to be safe and legal.
The MORryde 5th wheel to gooseneck conversions bolt right on where the old pin box was (no modification needed) and add rubber shock cushioning for a smoother ride. It’s a big upgrade over an adapter and saves you from installing a bulky hitch.
Do you have any specific brands in mind for the trailer?

We’ve been looking at a couple of Grand Designs and maybe an older Jayco Eagle if we can find one clean. I’ve never towed anything this big though. kinda nervous about switching to gooseneck.
