5v'er to gooseneck solution
This is the route I went. I love it! The only drawback is it is a little more effort to hitch up but worth it to me. Well I can't seem to be able to post a photo. But do a search on Reese goose bo...

Other Benefits:
1.You will never drop your Fiver, its either on the ball or not.
2.Hookup is slower but gentler as you raise and lower the trailer onto/off the ball to hookup or disconnect without ramming or need for wheel chocks (in most cases).Wheel chocks should be used regardless of hitch type.....gooseneck, 5th wheel, tongue/ball, pintle.
Wheel chocks 1st ON...last OFF. And I don't have to 'ram' into my hitch. Just back up, king pin plate slides up 5vr hitch plate, king pin trips latch...jaw snaps closed.
3. If necessary you can hitch from 0 degrees (straight back) to any angle your truck can reach relative to the Fiver and uneven terrain doesn't matter.My 4 way pivot hitch allows me to hookup at most any angle
Just me but I'll use a gooseneck ball for a gooseneck trailer, a 5th wheel hitch for a 5vr and a tongue ball for a pull behind.
Others can do what they choose.....it's their rig, their $$, their problem/concern.
