has anyone seen one of these in person or used one before? converts a bumper hitch to gooseneck with a bolt on GK hitch. looks like a clean way to go..... imo it does anyway. i have been considering this as i seem to get caught in the wind on 90% of my trips.

I would be concerned about insufficient hitch weight.
- A 5th wheel/gooseneck typically has a 20-25% of the trailer on the hitch and this represents a big part of why they tow so well.
- A bumper pull is typically 10-15%. Being too light is often the cause of sway.

By moving the hitch point further forward, it will reduce the percentage hitch weight.

If you are looking at trailers, just go to a 5th wheel if you want one.
If you are trying to fix an existing trailer towing problem, get to the scales and see if you are light on the hitch and if so, move weight forward.
