Goose Neck Hitch
Looking @ purchasing a 5th wheel trailer, at this time. Would like to install a gooseneck hitch. Due to the experince out there, what are the pros and cons of this set up? Would like to do this myself...

My BIL uses a gooseneck adapter to haul his 31' Keystone fifth wheel bunkhouse. In fact he usually pulls a 17' ski boat behind when he goes to Minnesota, he lives in southwest Iowa.
He has had no issues with it that I'm aware of.
To me it looks like it puts a lot of stress on the frame of the fifth wheel, but like I said he has had no issues.
After 10 years with no issues I decided to get bold and added a hitch to my fifth wheel to pull doubles too. No, I don't pull thru mud or snow with doubles but I do get off road with 1000lbs bike and trailer combined. Also pull 18% slope. Just did it two years so I won't give a definite no problem but will wait a couple years and see what happens. (See my hitch pict in above post)
