A gooseneck adapter does not put more stress on the pin or frame of a 5er. You can not add stress beyond that needed to move the 5er. Once it moves the stress drops. All hitches must use the same stress to move the 5er pin. One hitch does not magically change the inertia of the 5er more than another hitch.
A regular 5er hitch will put more stress if it is forced beyond the angles it was designed for. A gooseneck is a better hitch, particularly for rough country travel.
BTW instead of hi-jacking this guys forum you should ask your question as a new post, since the "internet engineers" will be poo pooing the gooseneck endlessly. I will not respond to this particular topic but if you want more info start a new discussion or PM me.
Thanks, I'll drop you a PM. A new topic will likely get the "use the search" whiners started.
