How do the 5th wheel to gooseneck adaptors work? Is there any drawback to using them over a traditional 5th wheel hitch. The price difference alone is worth trying it if it won't damage the trailer.

I've heard pros and cons from different manufacturers. And nothing but good things from one guy that I know who is using one.

From personal experience, DO NOT DO IT.......I had one on my 30' Copper Canyon and after a year, I almost lost my trailer from the frame completely cracking apart around the kingpin......Luckily my insurance covered it, or the bill would have been around $8k
