Actually, I said the same thing a few posts up - see my quote below. I challenge you to find the word "all" that you attributed to me in my quoted statement. You won't because it isn't there.

I said;
"A blanket statement or a certain worded statement that "all" 5th wheel trailers aren't designed for using a GN adapter is simply a inaccurate opinion."
You have made it clear over and over and over your dislike of the GN adapter Rusty to the point you have beat everyone over the head with it time after time.
You made your point. Time to let it go.
