i am not sure i understand , if you have a goose-neck trailer and you have a 5th wheel truck that uses rails to pin the 5th wheel on like Reese then all you have to do is take the 5th wheel out and they make a plate with a ball that mounts on the rails with the same pins , only takes about 5 minutes to swap between the two go to etrailer.com they have pix there

Many goose neck trailer manufactures design their trailers so the piece that comes down and hooks into the hitch can be removed with two bolts and you can install either a ball adapter or fifth wheel pin. That way you can pull it with either. I am just having a trailer built with this kind or set up.

My father in law bought a conversion from 5th wheel to gooseneck for his rv trailer. 4 bolts, and he welded it on there, and it works great, no problems. He just got back a month ago from PA with it.
