Which Hitch? 5th Wheel or Goose Neck?
I have owned a couple of RV's, TT and Motorhomes. Just bought my first 5th Wheel. Not sure what kind of hitch. I was thinking a goose neck with an adapter so I still have my bed when not towing. Or am...

I've enjoyed the STAR PERFORMANCE Gooseneck adapter which includes a glider motion that nearly eliminates any chucking (except for the VERY worst roads).
I tried the Reese Goosebox and in less than a year it didn't prevent a significant front frame crack from a West TX mega-pothole. The sagging frame led to bending the Goosebox before the damage was realized/became critical.
Lippert refused to replace the Goosebox, so I got a 16K Pinbox installed on my newly repaired and strengthened frame and returned to the STAR PERFORMANCE adapter.
Unlike the Goosebox it doesn't have to be greased every journey or refill the airbag after every journey.
The Ball is usually very easy to connect to and once on the Ball, it'll never drop the trailer on the truck bed rails.
