I see you have a gooseneck adapter. How many miles with that?
I'm considering buying a small 5th wheel, any advice for a hitch?
I bought it thataway… ONLY because it was well below market value, and haven't had the money to change it back. With that said;
I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND "hORSE TRAILERin" a fifth-wheel EVER...and I might ruffle some feathers, with that statement, so be it. I've seen too many bad results from doing it. In fact you can Joogle it...er...look it up.
These trailers are engineered to a slim margin; when the pivot point is changed, the same is true for the relationship between the forces that act upon the frame...especially the gussets and welds at the front step-up of the frame. Look for the wrinkles or bowing of the side wall... or even earlier the paint chipping and crazing off the welds on the exposed frame inside of the front cargo bay..... a lot of delam starts this way on fifths.
I used to work for one, of the only two, Winnebago Factory Dealerships outside of Forrest City, Iowa...the other one was in Florida.
