Goose Neck to 5th Wheel

Hello everybody. I just now bought a tow vehicle for my 36' 5er toy Hauler, 15k loaded and 3k pound hitch weight. I got an Tundra.... Just kidding got a 2011 RAM 3500 DRW. The truck already has a goose neck hitch installed. I know there are plenty of adapters to hitch my 5er to the goose neck and even a new king pin to turn my 5th wheel into a goose. My question is since I don't and probably won't be towing a goose neck can I use one of these adapters as a permanent solution or would I be better off putting a 5th wheel hitch in the truck. What is your opinion. Thanks for the help. Bare with me as this is my first 5er and still learning about the hitches.

You need to check with your trailer manufacturer to make sure they won't void the warranty if you install a gooseneck adapter. This kind of hitch puts a LOT more strain on the fiver frame which may not be designed to take it.
