Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter - 12" to 16" Tall - 20,000 lbs
Easy to install I set the hitch on my jd gator and used the trailer jacks to let down on the hitch. I also bolted the hitch on (just for peace of mind).After install I did a test run of sixty miles. Worked great there was no jerking or push pull motion at all, as some reviews have said.A few months lator we went on a 500 mile trip with no problems.My truck is a 3500 dodge dually diesel.Now I can pull my farm trailers and camper on the same hitch, no moving 5th wheel in and out of truck!My camper weights 13,000 lbs.
Hitch just installed on 5th wheel. I think you should have included a tool for the 3/8" allen screws and the 4 bolts & nuts. I live in a rural area and had to do some serious hunting for the allen screws, which translates to a lot of wasted time. You should put in your instructions to predrill the holes before installing the hitch. Will have to remove hitch to drill bolt holes. Product looks great, will do truck hookup in a couple of days. Don't expect any problems

B&W Companion Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter - Dual Jaw - 20,000 lbs
Straight forward installation, website easy to navigate to find the correct hitch for my vehicle, and the most reasonable price I found. Ordered on a Friday and it arrived the following Tuesday!!!!!!!!!
Great product and great customer service. Only reason for a 4 star review instead of a 5 star review is that i really didn’t like the large footprint that it took up in my short bed truck. Traveled 2157 miles this year pulling our 33’ Grand Design and it was flawless. Sold our truck recently and up graded to a duramax with a puck system so we also upgraded to a B&W RVK3710. Haven’t pulled with it yet but I am expecting the same flawless operation as the last one. The build quality is extremely rugged and I love the small footprint.

Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter w/ Offset - 12" to 16" Tall
I have a standard bed on a 2024 Chevrolet 2500hd and the offset hitch extends too far so that it contacts my bed on the left and right when I angle my trailer at about a 120 degree angle. I will get the straight one so it will fit properly. My rhino box fifth wheel is pretty short but makes this setup too long. Get the straight one if you have a Chevy with a rhino box 5th wheel. Towing is nice and hookup was easy. 3 stars just because the offset hit the sides.
This is my first 5th wheel but I have several other gooseneck trailers that I tow on a regular basis. I didn't want to have to switch back and forth so I bought this adapter. I have a long bed but I have a chase rack on it that goes up over the cab. I really didn't want to have to remove it every time I wanted to tow my new toy hauler so I got the offset hitch. Install was very straight forward. Took me about 40 min. to install. The hardest part was getting the bolts in as mine has the long pin box and it was all I could do to reach the holes. I don't have very many miles on it but it tows great. I didn't notice any difference from my other gooseneck trailers.

Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitches - 20,000 lbs
Great product! Ive pulled a 42' to Hell and back not one problem. It is heavy, but it's very solid. My fifth wheel hitch fit straight in. Way cheaper than having to put rails in if you have a factory ball hitch in the bed. Its It's also nice that it's removable so you can haul furniture, or things that can't sit crooked ect. Great product, should last forever. Definitely would recommend
I cannot not say enough about trailer. Always have had my back with price,knowledge, and the best customer service. I have the Curt X5 Adapter and love it. I have it coupled to the Q24 her hitch My tow vehicle is a 2013 GMC 3500 Dually 4WD and tow a 40' 18k 2012 Keystone Raptor

B&W Companion Slider Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter - Dual Jaw - 20,000 lbs
We pulled our 36 foot camper across country with no problems
Excellent quality and easy to use. Only downfall is how heavy it is, we use a backhoe to install and remove it from the truck bed instead of taking it apart so it's a manageable weight.

Bulldog Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Coupler Adapter - Inner Tube - Square - 30,000 lbs
Fast delivery like I love!!! This is my 2nd unit I've ordered and very pleased with them. I have 2 car haulers that had the gooseneck set up. Bought this so I can pull with my semi! Excellent choice. More to be ordered for my trailers and I'm definitely ordering from you guys!! Thanks
Quality steel, heavy duty. Good product. It does have some rough/sharp edges though.

Ranch Hitch Universal 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter w/8" Offset for Short-Bed Trucks
I have been using the Ranch Hitch #3100 Straight Adapter for 3 years. Converting the 5th wheel to goose neck was awesome. Much easier to hook up and a smoother, quieter pull. After purchasing a new trailer I noticed that the trailer was too close to the cab of my short bed truck. I found the Ranch Hitch #3139 with 8" offset adapter. It installs easy and gives me 8 more inches away from my truck cab. Excellent! Turning corners is much more comfortable!
After having this on my (small) 5th wheel travel trailer for more than 2 years, I have discovered the major problem with it... Because the hitch point is so much lower, it has created unusual leverage over the kingpin box and now my trailer frame is cracking :( Your trailer must be VERY shored up around the kingpin box to resist the extension of torque by essentially making your kingpin box much longer. I loved the idea of not having a 5th hitch in the box of my truck and the removable gooseneck ball instead, but I now know that a complete change-out of the kingpin box to a gooseneck hitch would have been more reliable. I am now in Mexico with a cracked trailer frame due to this :(

Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter - Lippert 1621 - 16,000 lbs
I received the Goose Box 10 days after ordering it. I thought this would be an out-of-the-box bolt up installation. However, a crossmember support on my 2022 Cougar 23MLS prevented the Goose Box from lining up properly. The frame on this fifth wheel is a Lippert 1621. I was disappointed that I had to remove some material from the crossmember support to allow the Goose Box to be installed. I can't believe that etrailer or Reese have never encountered this issue? I did watch an online installation video, but no written instructions came with it.
Well once you realize the instructions are on the website and figure out the proper bolt placement it went on pretty flawlessly one hole was a bit off but bolt went in with a little movement of the pin box . Thank you Etrailer I will be back for all my towing needs.

Bulldog Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Coupler Adapter - Inner Tube - Round - 25,000 lbs
Ordered on Friday afternoon and received the following Tuesday. Very simple installation. No longer have to crank the gooseneck up or down to connect to truck. Very satisfied with this product and the price was very reasonable.
I ordered the Bulldog adapter because I believe their quality is good. The construction of the Bulldog hitch adapter was good. However, the 4” tube was not perfectly round, approximately.030 out of round. This shouldn’t have been an issue, but since my trailer is used and had a Temco hitch originally, the tube wouldn’t slip in. I chucked the Bulldog in the lathe and skimmed .030 of the diameter and it went right in. This review is not written to criticize Etrailer or Bulldog. Just be aware if you’re working with a different brand hitch other than what is listed, there is a possibility of fitment issues.

Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter for Recessed Ball - Single Jaw - 21,000 lbs
Shipper dropped box, chipped some paint, and pin is missing. Other than that, smooth process from order to delivery. No fault to trailer at all. Seems like a well built rugged hitch!
Hitch fit great. Bradford built mustang flatbed. I did see people having issues with the hitch rotating. I added a 7/16 x 2"bolt to prevent that from happening.

Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter - Single Jaw - 21,000 lbs
The Demco Recon is an incredible hitch! I originally bought a much cheaper hitch adapter from (another site). Regretted it the moment I used it for the first time, it terrified me and I thought I was going to destroy my truck and trailer. Luckily, that crumby adapter made me look harder for a much better alternative, which is when I landed on the Demco Recon. I was a little nervous at first about making sure that I had ordered the correct hitch for my gooseneck, but after looking at the FAQs and Customer photos here on etrailer, I felt confident in my purchase. When it arrived, it was very simple to install in the bed of my truck, I watched a couple of different videos on YouTube to make sure I installed it correctly. (The printed instructions don't mention what to do with the blue silicon bung). But otherwise install was very quick. My first trip with the Demco was also my first time ever towing a fifth wheel trailer and we did nearly 800 miles. The wrap around lock on the kingpin gave me assurance that I had made full contact with the kingpin. The hitch was secure and worked amazingly well. I'd highly recommend this hitch to anyone who is looking for an adapter. I never felt uneasy or questioned the hitch.
Very nice hitch. Easy to install and the height adjustment makes it easy to adjust the height of the trailer.

Ranch Hitch Universal 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter
This is a great product and would recommend it for anyone who doesn’t want to purchase a 5th wheel hitch
Order confirmation was fast, shipping was fast, they said it would be here Saturday but ups doesn’t deliver on Saturday or Sunday so it didn’t get here until Monday. I knew this so I was expecting it and I didn’t need it right away so to me it didn’t matter. Everything was delivered in good shape when it got here. I’ve bought one of these from strainer before and liked it so when I found I was in need of a goose neck adapter again I got the same one and etrailer came through again. This adapter is expensive but it works great. Would recommend.

B&W Companion Flatbed Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter - Dual Jaw - 25,000 lbs
Used the Companion hitch to convert gooseneck ball mount to 5th wheel hitch. Companion fits perfectly inside the well of my flatbed and is easy to remove to use the gooseneck ball and easy to re-install. The hitch is very secure and tows my RV quite smoothly. There is no back and forth movement and I couldn’t be happier with it. Easy to hook up and disconnect the trailer. Highly recommended. Etrailer staff was very helpful in helping me find the right equipment to meet my needs.
Hitch is great, B&W products are exceptional. Had the turnover ball mounted on a Douglass flatbed. Purchased the fifth wheel hitch for a 37 ft two axle toy hauler. Pulls great, easy installation. Make sure to make all the appropriate measurements before purchasing. There were some shipping issues. etrailer failed to send a bolt bag initially. Took a while to get that rectified, but all is well.

Demco 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitches
Products fit properly, I haven’t used it yet with my 5th wheel hitch but appears to be sturdy and should work well. Easy to switch form 5th wheel hitch to gooseneck ball.
Great option for my curt q20 took 20 minutes to install .I bought a new truck which came with the b&W gooseneck hitch i was surprised to find this plate . Thanks etrailer

Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for Curt Double Lock Gooseneck Trailer Hitches - 20,000 lbs
I had an issue with this not sitting all the way down into by gooseneck. I have to place my backhoe bucket down into this for my bolts to engage...What a pain in the neck. Wish there was a easy way to fix this, but I feel the only way is to mill the piece or shim my existing gooseneck under the bed.
Fits perfectly into curt goose neck hitch. My reese 5th wheel hitch fits on the rails perfect. I haul dirt bikes in my truck so being able to take the rails out is perfect..... nothing in the way of loading or unloading

Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter - Lippert 1716 - 16,000 lbs
My trailer hauls amazing. No lurching, stops are smooth, looks amazing and no ugly receiver. I did receive this hitch with the locking pin installed 180 degrees off. So it would not lower on to my ball. I quickly removed it and rotated it so that the slot was facing appropriately. I don’t think this is a reason to rate this anything less than a 5 star. Happy customer and will always use them!
Congratulations to the person packaging the hitch, very well done. The reason I gave four stars instead of five is related to the hitch itself not Etrailer. The air connection is in an awkward position. you have to lay on your back in the bed of the pickup to get at it and then a standard air wouldn't work. I put an extention on it to solve the problem.

Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Trailer Coupler Adapter - Inner Tube - Round - 25K lbs
Shipping was fast. Experience with e trailer was good as always. Part was not so impressive. Plate where welded onto tube was not in line with the holes causing the hitch to not align with the trailer. Other than alignment hitch adapter looks and feels sturdy and robust.
Does not work. Makes front of flatbed trailer too high & ramps won’t land. And I had it blasted and painted before installing. Wish the weld was flat on 5th wheel plate.

Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Trailer Coupler Adapter - Round - 30K
This may be a compatibility issue between manufacturers, but why is the front of the hitch pin plate not centered with the trailer center
Great craftsmanship on the adapter, works perfect. Will save my back not having to pull out 5th wheel hitch every time I need to switch to pulling a different trailer. Overall experience was excellent. Great prices, awesome customer service and fast delivery time.

Curt X5 5th-Wheel Base Rail Adapter Plate for EZr Double Lock Gooseneck Trailer Hitch
This adapter allowed me to quickly install a fifth wheel hitch in my single wheel shortbed truck which had a gooseneck hitch without any extra installation work, other than just dropping it in. Easily installed and has worked well with a slider hitch.
Works good.Everything fit. Thanks Joe
