Been looking at hitches for a 5th wheel and wondering what benefit there is of converting the king pin to a goose setup. My thoughts are infinite articulation. Dunno what kind of articulation you get in a king pin setup?
As well the other point would be that if you had a gooseneck setup, then obviously spending money on a king pin hitch is not worth it.
But heck, seems like most king pin hitches are about $400. This adapter is about that:

I do have future plans to tow a gooseneck trailer, so would it be worth my time to get a goose setup and then get the adaptor and tow a 5th with it?
