Why No Goosenecks?
It seems like all RV travel trailers are fivers, and only construction related flatbeds or horse trailers are goosenecks. Is that pretty much true? And why is that? It seems like a gooseneck hitch ...

Seems like it brings together the worst of both designs. It eats up a lot of bed space when installed and requires more accuracy to hitch up than a 5th wheel.
Also, I suspect from a legal perspective, the authorities may consider it a goosneck and require chains.
No, it is considered a 5th wheel hitch, the "authorities" do not consider it a GN...It is really considered a 5th wheel hitch...it's there for the research. May not like it, but it is. It's very light weight and when you remove it and the Reese drop in ball, the bed is free and clear.
.......one more time, it DOESN'T require chains....do the research.
That hitch is similar to this one that Scamp has been using for years for their (very small) fiver. No chains required for this one, as far as I know...
