5th wheel with a gooseneck conversion in a short bed Dodge

Have a friend with the gooseneck adapter on his toyhauler 5ver. He has a hard time lining up the hitch over the ball. He and I both have B&W gooseneck hitches in our Ram 3500 megacabs so I loaned him my companion fifth wheel hitch to try in his pickup. He towed his trailer about 20 miles and ordered his own B&W companion that day. He claimed nite and day difference!!
