I Need Advice on a 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Adaptation

Nothing like a new camper behind a new truck. Go For It. New does not mean dealer new might just be new to you and your family. Have fun

If I were in the market again, especially for newer 5th wheels(mine is a '98), I would look a little more for something that does not need the lift. I see them out there. Mine works fine, but it would be nice to have it lower.

Thanks all for the suggestions. There are a lot of people around here driving RV's with flipped axles. If this camper were still the perfect fit for my family, I would flip the axles and not look back. As it is we are growing out of it. My kids are no longer toddlers and infants. We've been considering an upgrade, and this is a good opportunity. Not only would the family be more comfortable in a bigger camper, but I have a big enough truck now to be comfortable pulling a bigger camper.

Dealer new is not an option for us. My wife and I took some time on my lunch break today to look at used trailers at a local dealer. After an hour of sticker shock, used may not be an option either.

Problem solved.

Cool! That's a tad bigger than the other one... Looks bigger than my 27'; guessing 29-30'? Reminds me, we're do for the beach again...

It's not the permanent solution. We hope to use it for a few years and then trade for a smaller bunk model.

How much room between the camper and bed rails? It looks pretty tight....

With the bigger camper I have 5 or 6 inches. Much better than the little one.

Follow up to my getting a new trailer. What's the switch on the left in this picture. The right switch is the water heater, but I can't figure out what the left switch is for.
