New to rving. Trying to pick the right hitch.

Good post WTP-GC, hitting your cab is avoidable in most cases, especially with the newer rounded nose FWs.

The OP does not say what FW he is considering, or if he has the FW prep package on his 2015 Ford. It is hard to beat the factory setup, using a hitch designed for the puck system.

Hello my wife and I are about to purchase a fifth wheel camper for the first time. Our truck is a 2015 f250 diesel crew cab so we have a shorter bed truck. I have a goose neck turn over ball in the bed and was looking for advice on the options for gooseneck to fifth wheel adapters. I am leaning towards
Convert-A-Ball C5GX1216 Adjustable 7 1/2" Offset Cushioned Fifth Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter

Anyone have any experience with this product. I dont want to hit my cab on turns and was looking for the best options.
Thanks you

The general rule of thumb is to avoid the gooseneck adapters like the one you're referring to. There's at least a zillion posts on here about the reasons why, so I'll implore you to read some of them.

If you're hung up on the gooseneck adapter style, then the Andersen UH is the closest suitable compromise between that and a traditional fifth wheel hitch. Its in the same basic price range as the gooseneck adapter and generally considered to be a much more suitable option.

There's not a hitch product on the market that will keep you from hitting the cab. That comes from paying attention. Yes, we're all prone to mistakes or lapses in judgement from time to time, but anyone that has ever hit their cab could have avoided it.

You may want to confirm with your fifth wheel manufacturer that there are no issues with the goose neck conversion on your particular fifth wheel.

I use the Andersen Ultimate and like it. My truck is like yours.
