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.

i have pulled many horse trailers with gooseneck hitches and had a 5r with a goose neck conversion. goose neck is the only way to go. i don't know why all 5rs aren't made with the goose neck hitches. i had a fold down ball in my last f350 that gave full use of the bed. if i got another 5r it would have a goose neck conversion. some 5rs may not be built heavy enough to handle the front to rear added stress. mine worked fine.
