I have towed with both a goose neck adapter and the B & W Companion. Simply switching to the companion WILL NOT improve your ride. It will however make others who think it is going to do harm to your trailer feel better. Given the age of your trailer and its' weight, I do not think you will have any issues. To improve your ride you will have to go with some sort of air-bag pin box or air bag goose neck adapter, there are several out there on the market. I switched from the goose neck adapter to the Companion when I purchased a larger & heaver trailer. I also use a 5th Airborne pin box to smooth out the ride.
