Just picked up a 5th wheel camper. It came with a 5th wheel plate. Is there an adapter piece to bolt any 5th wheel plate to the tow prep package? After the summer is over the camper is coming off the trailer and onto my 40' goosneck so I can haul my off road toys. So I would rather not spend a ton of money on something I'll only use a handful of times.

Avoid the REESE i have it and its a POS
Are you talking about the adapter or the hitch itself? I am going to need and adapter for my sliding PullRite and was considering the Reese because it was 1 piece. Any other recommendations?

Not sure I fully understand what you've got.

Several brands of 5th wheel to puck system adapters available, Curt, Demco, Reese, they're not cheap.

RE: crawler hauler. There's a guy on the Built not Bought FB page that put his Grand Design Solitude on a monster gooseneck hauler.
Oof. Yeah they are not cheap. But that's exactly what I am referring to.

Hitch brand is Hijacker.

I've always been impressed with the build quality of most of the Curt gear. I have an A-25 hitch and it's awesome.

The adapter. Mine had 2 of the T bolts had to be ground down as they were 1/4” to wide for the slot in the pucks on the truck and i had to open the slots for the hitch up 1/8 as my none of my 5th wheel hitches would not fit into the adapter one of which is a reese hitch.
