No but a freind that is a master fabricator and I are going to do it to both of our campers this winter for next summers season. We are going to build an adapter that will leave the trailer completly unchanged and still able to be pulled as a bumper mount. The idea is to build a neck to come out of the bed and over the tail gate and down to the normal ball height of the trailer toung and then have a reciever built in to put a normal receiver hitch on to hook the camper to. Then run rails back parallel to the trailer toung that clamp onto it back at the front wall of the camper. Simple, cheap and very efective. I will have one buy spring so I will post pics of it when done.

Your saying you want to convert a bumper pull to goosenck? Why?

I have seen a gooseneck converted to be pulled with a 2' ball hitch. Just plain butt ugly and definitly not safe.

What kind of trailer do you have? I know H&H speedloader trailers can be converted to bumper or gooseneck.
