5th Wheel vs. Gooseneck

You can put a goose neck hitch in the bed and use a hitch on it like the b&w companion or an Anderson. Most rv pin boxes aren’t strong enough for a goose neck adapter and manufacturer warranties won’t support it.

If you are buying new, Lippert frames approve a Goosebox adapter (has shock absorbers and air bag) but not rigid adapters.

Many people prefer gooseneck hitches, some because they are used to them from hauling stock or construction trailers. They may be a little harder for you to hook up as it may hard to see the ball in the bottom of the bed. And being a ball it has to be lined up pretty close. A 5th wheel hitch is more forgiving. And in general a gooseneck, being a ball hitch, requires safety chains similar to a bumper hitch.

Asking this type question will get best replies in the fifth wheel section of the forum.

While you aren't giving enough info, as to what your TV is, here is some things you might add.

What year, make, and model is your tow vehicle? What size, length and GVWR is the fifth wheel you are considering? Why do you want a gooseneck ball installed in the bed, and what hitch are you considering?

Using a gooseneck adapter is not usually the best choice, and will void your warranty on many new FWs.

Make sure the RV mfgr. allows a gooseneck without voiding your frame warranty.
