My 33' toy hauler bumper tow, 3_7k axles, and am everybit of them 21K lb trailer without the toys. 12" I-Beam Rails. If one wants gooseneck Why Wouldnt i want to attach the gooseck section Directly to the 12" I Beams, could Still do without Welding with proper double shear plates thus Removing the Super Flexy bumper tow design.
$5,995 plus tax and shipping is customers responsibility. Also leaves out a very important bit on how much it weighs. My thoughts are that this would be perfect for half ton trucks as half ton towable 5th wheel campers are extremely scarce but depending on how heavy the adapter hitch is it might not be worth it if it soaks up to much of the trucks payload rating. With shipping and taxes you’re probably going to be pushing $7k for this not including if you need to set the truck up. On a 3/4 or 1 ton it’d be better to just get a 5th wheel.
I like the idea of this after having a bumper pull RV for about a year now, but the 880lb of this adapter make it a significant beast to mount. $6,000 isn’t crazy money for what you’re getting when you see equalizer hitches going for upwards of $3,000 for some brands.
I don't see much advantage with this unit and I'm a 5th wheel fan. It only handles up to 10K pounds and with a light trailer like that, why lose your pickup bed?
For those asking why. I can only answer for my personal reasons. 1. I have the perfect TT for me. Its paid for and i never wanted a 5th wheel. 2. I like that I would still have the low profile of the TT, but would have the better handling characteristics of a goosneck. 3. I dont know why people keep saying this causing more torque on the trailer frame. Its inducing less than a weight distrubution hitch. The point where it connects is the exact same as being hooked to a receiver. The ball in the bed allows the tongue to move in infinite and continous positions. It cannot bind like a WDH. Your needs will vary of course. But its a great design and would work exactly as intended. Why dont i have one? Because the place i park my trailer wont accommodate the extra length.
Complete waste of your hard earned money. Your adding length, and weight. But you are gaining almost nothing. Instead of buying this, put your money towards a 5th wheel
Great idea except they charge $6000.00 for the thing. It's cheaper to build it from scratch! $1500.00 is more realistic, keep dreaming because only an idiot would pay $6000.00 for this thing!
Ingenious, I want to build a gooseneck like this to attach to my fifth wheel pin box and the chassis side rails to minimize the stress on the front frame and aluminum RV structure, that way the weight and twisting stresses will be carried by the more rigid gooseneck hitch and main frame rails on the RV and not the front structure of the RV
Not knocking these guys but if your trailer makes you nervous to tow enough to do this you need a bigger truck. If you want a gooseneck or 5th wheel, just buy a gooseneck or 5th wheel. This whole concept makes no sense.
In most states out west where I live you can pull doubles if the first trailer is a fifth wheel or gooseneck. I have a bumper pull travel trailer (that already has a receiver hitch on the back) and would like to sometimes tow my boat or SxS behind it. This would allow me to do so although for the price of it, I could fabricate and weld up a permanent one myself. It is an alternative to having to sell my bumper pull and buying a new trailer.
@@LivingOnCashjust move to Idaho. You can double pull with your bumper pull, like me. She gets a little squirrelly around 70 with the 2 place 4wheeler trailer. But no problems at all with the boat as 2nd trailer. Now if I could just pull triples 😂😂
You should find a way to hinge it up at the top with some pins so top can fold down so it's not sticking out so far when your unhooked. My bumper pull camper measures 41ft long and its tough to find camping sites for it to fit, and with your hitch it'd be even longer, I think it'd be cool to fold down somehow after you unhook. Just a thought but man that is exactly what my camper needs bc it tows like crap! Love your hitch tho I'm gonna have to try one for sure!
What’s The Point ? The trailer you own just became more expensive , longer , has less of a load capacity and makes wider turns ! Questionable trailer frame longevity and you didn’t gain any interior real estate ! Just Because You Can Do Something . . . . Doesn’t Mean You Should !!!
Eh, maybe. When installed right, I doubt it, but there's always that slim chance of failure, However, this kit puts some tongue weight from the trailer into the front end so your steering doesn't get squirrelly, meaning, you gain the traction back into your steer tires.

Safer then ball hitch towing by far
Can this be done for a 1/2 ton?
Great idea
Ive wanted to do this for 20 years.
Will this kit work for livestock trailers?
Will this work for a 2024 16 ft dump trailer
Her I like that very much that is really

What a Joke
$6000 adapter.
Could also buy a proper 5th wheel camper😂
TOO COOL
cool concept the welds on that pipe are absolutely atrocious though.
A GIANT lever that will bend that toungue is no time. CAVEAT EMPTOR
Expands your length in camp by 4-5 feet? Takes away some spots you would otherwise be able to use AND you lose the ability to cover the truck bed.
I've been curious if anyone made something like this for a long time. I wonder if you're still making them?

what keeps it from hitting each other in a sharp turn ? it be like pulling a double hay wagon
Yea that’s a lot of stuff to tow something that’s already set up to be towed. Next time if you want a fifth wheel trailer then buy one .
What a waste, I refuse to use a fifth wheel or gooseneck, I always buy tag trailer because I use my bed while I tow my trailer

Can you double tow with this setup in Michigan?
Nice Price: $5,995.00 plus sales tax. Shipping is customers responsibility.
Why would you buy this it just adds more weight on your truck.
Nice ,very nice...

Weight of unit? How easy to swap to different trailer? Or is it a one and done deal?
do you sell these for a 32' travel trailer

Looks heavy
Super cool. When will the details be revealed? Cost, benefits, max cargo capacity, that kind of stuff…… Hope to see that video.

What’s it worth?

What's the point of all this ?
It's easier to back up, and more secure.
Yup! Exactly what did it do other than take up space on the tow vehicle!
keep me posted on the new batch so I can possibly head that way so we can do an install video 🤠
How much for it cost ?
price is ridiculous
I was thinking of something like this for my car trailer.
It bolts onto the trailer's *tongue* , not "hitch". The part at the front of the tongue which attached to the ball is called a "coupler".
Solution looking for a problem

How much?
what is the max tounge weight does it void manufactures warrantee what is the cost and lastly where i it? thank dan
Wth? Did you have to use someones bumper pull trailer? The time and cost would justify it. Omg. Too much to explain.
I seen one for the 1st time couple weeks ago someone had 1 for sale on Facebook market place..cool peice
