If the previous owner was using a gooseneck adapter then why not continue. Either the damage has already been done, or it is unlikely to occur. If you were buying a new hitch, Id strongly consider and Anderson Ultimate. Despite previous posters suggesting they are inferior. I have no reason to ever consider a different hitch after over 5k miles towing this summer. With another 2k to go.
It's not that the gooseneck hitch is inferior, it is that the design of most 5th wheels may not lend itself to using a gooseneck adapter. Problems may not show up for quite some time, perhaps closer to 10,000 miles than 5,000 miles.
