Gooseneck travel trailer!
Camping at Vogel State Park this Thanksgiving and came across this unique travel trailer converted to a gooseneck. Just had to share. Happy Thanksgiving all!

Don't quite understand your scenario. My ball mount screws into the hitch plate, which is mounter UNDER the bed to the frame rails. There is a round hole in the bed where the hitch ball screws in, it's 2" fine threaded hex nut, welded to the hitch frame itself and the ball is removable and is a one piece steel affair, threaded to fit in the nut.
You remove the ball and the bed is flat and unobstructed by anything. With the ball in, it's solid, secure and the only way the trailer would come off is if the vertical hitch point failed. Not likely. Most are fabbed from heavy wall square tubing with a telescoping center section (to adjust the trailer ride height (secured with a retractable pin and a through bolt). The jaws on the telescoping section are of the clamshell variety and are locked onto the ball with a spring loaded pin. Nothing can go anywhere. Nothing ever has. I've been pulling mine for at least a decade, most times overloaded.
