Opinions: FW to gooseneck adapters?
What are your opinions for the gooseneck adapters for the FW hitches? Pro's/ con's? Considering purchasing one. Thanks!

But to be complete it isn't just weight changes that occur while stationary but also the dynamics at 65 mph which you haven't calculated. Bottom line, every fifth wheel frame is weaker than GN frames, they frequently fail w/o extra stress, so risk of a failure does increase with added stress of a GN extension. Every owner can find out for themselves but one success does not guarantee the same results on another fifth wheel.
Explain the difference going down the road at 65 mph, please. I see very little difference. The difference is in off road soft fields for the gooseneck while very few RVs get those stresses. Again, two entirely different applications. While you are at it maybe you would also like to enlighten us to why almost all frame failures are on fifth wheel hitches instead of those converted.
The goose box places the same stresses on the frame as an adapter yet is approved. The difference? Who gets the profits.
