[QUOTE="BrokenBackJack, post: 300856, member: 642"] Through the years we have had all sorts of gooseneck and 5th wheel hitches in our pickups. The last few years when we had trailers and toyhaulers we had the B&W gooseneck hitch and used the 5th wheel companion adapter for pulling our toyhaulers. It worked slick but to remove the 5th wheel part it was heavy but could be broken down to 2 pieces but was still somewhat heavy especially with a bad back. Was told years ago by a camper dealer owner " don't put an adapter on the 5th wheel of the camper to make it into a gooseneck setup unless the camper was made for a gooseneck hookup as it has to be straightened in the frame work of the camper where the campers hitch connects to the frame. He said with a 5th wheel it can flex in the hitch but with a gooseneck it makes it want to flex in the frame where the hitch is installed on the frame of the camper". This is totally different from making your pickups gooseneck into a 5th wheel hook-up. 5th wheel campers and gooseneck trailers pull so much easier and better than a bumper pull. Have pulled lots of each being on the farm/ranch. One thing about a bumper pull camper your whole camper floor is one level not so with a 5th wheel so you have to decide which is better for you and how often are you going to pull it. Just my 2 cents. [/QUOTE]
