People do it to get the bed back, because a gooseneck ball turns over and disappears where a fifth-wheel hitch is a large permanent object taking up the whole bed. The usual complaint about doing it is ride quality, since a gooseneck ball is a hard joint where a fifth wheel has some give. That is the problem B\u0026amp;W set out to solve here. The SumoSpring is a microcellular polyurethane spring that SuperSprings International originally developed for commercial trucking. B\u0026amp;W built one into this adapter, which is what makes it different from the plate-and-ball adapters it competes with: it absorbs road shock and the chucking that a fifth wheel transmits between truck and trailer, in both the vertical and the horizontal direction, and it does it with no airbags to inflate, no adjustment to make and no break-in period. B\u0026amp;W has tested it down to -20°F. The coupler is worth as much attention as the spring: it latches automatically when you lower the trailer onto the ball and resets itself when you disconnect, the funnel shape guides the ball in when your alignment is not perfect, and the release cable is where you can reach it rather than up under the trailer. It takes a padlock. Two 42\" safety chains with hooks are included. This part number is the Rhino version for Lippert Rhino pin boxes with a maximum pin weight of 4,500 lb, on a 25,000 lb maximum trailer weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB\u0026amp;W 25K fifth wheel to gooseneck adapter, Rhino version\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo 42\" safety chains with hooks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting hardware for the pin box mounting plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Spring Where Other Adapters Have a Bolt\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe SumoSpring is a microcellular polyurethane spring that SuperSprings International originally developed for commercial trucking.

Chucking, the back-and-forth surge you feel through the truck at low speed, is a horizontal problem, and a system that only damps vertically does nothing about it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLatches Itself, Resets Itself\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLower the trailer onto the ball and listen for the click.

What the adapter does want is grease, and B\u0026amp;W is specific about it: inspect the bolted connections and grease the ball before every trip, grease the four articulating joints through their angled fittings every 2,500 miles until a little shows at the ends, and grease the coupler through its straight fitting once a year, rotating the latch handle to spread it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRhino Pin Boxes, 4,500 lb Maximum Pin Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the Rhino version, for Lippert Rhino pin boxes, rated to 4,500 lb pin weight on a trailer up to 25,000 lb.

If you do not know which you have, the mounting plate is the bracket the pin box bolts to on the front of the trailer's frame, and B\u0026amp;W's own guidance and its dealer network can identify it. On the truck side you need a gooseneck ball rated for your loaded trailer and roughly 5.5\" of clearance around it, which is the figure to check if you have a recessed toolbox in the bed. A typical installation leaves 6\" to 10\" of bed clearance under the trailer. Two 42\" safety chains are included; Ram HD trucks with the factory gooseneck prep package need the longer 51-1\/2\" chains, which are sold as RVXA3141.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eB\u0026amp;W Part Number:\u003c\/b\u003e RVGN3164\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWhat It Is:\u003c\/b\u003e Fifth wheel to gooseneck adapter, replaces the trailer's pin box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePin Box Family:\u003c\/b\u003e Lippert Rhino\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFits Pin Box Mounting Plates:\u003c\/b\u003e Lippert Rhino\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMax Trailer Weight:\u003c\/b\u003e 25,000 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMax Pin Weight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4,500 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Other Pin Weight in This Family:\u003c\/b\u003e 3,250 lb, part number RVGN3163\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSuspension:\u003c\/b\u003e Integrated SumoSpring microcellular polyurethane, maintenance free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCushioning:\u003c\/b\u003e Dual axis, vertical and horizontal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCold Weather Testing:\u003c\/b\u003e Performs to -20°F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCoupler:\u003c\/b\u003e Auto-latching and self-resetting, funnel shaped, with an easy-reach latch cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSecurity:\u003c\/b\u003e Accepts a padlock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSafety Chains:\u003c\/b\u003e Two 42\" chains with hooks included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLonger Chains:\u003c\/b\u003e RVXA3141, a 51-1\/2\" long safety chain kit, for Ram HD trucks with the gooseneck prep package or where extra length is needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eShim Kit:\u003c\/b\u003e Not required for the Rhino version\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBed Clearance:\u003c\/b\u003e Typically 6\" to 10\" in a normal installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBall Clearance Needed:\u003c\/b\u003e About 5.5\" from any obstruction, for a recessed toolbox for example\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eShipping Weight:\u003c\/b\u003e About 170 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 843233085273\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/b\u003e B\u0026amp;W Lifetime Exclusive Limited Warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMade In:\u003c\/b\u003e Made in the USA, built by B\u0026amp;W in Humboldt, Kansas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eType:\u003c\/b\u003e Replaces the trailer's existing pin box on its mounting plate  ·  \u003cb\u003eTime:\u003c\/b\u003e Allow a couple of hours, with help  ·  \u003cb\u003eTools:\u003c\/b\u003e Socket set and torque wrench, plus a way to support the weight of the adapter  ·  \u003cb\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/b\u003e Intermediate, and not a one-person job\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis part weighs about 170 lb and it bolts to the front of your trailer's frame, so support the trailer properly and get a second person before you start.

The idea was simple and nobody else had done it: a gooseneck ball that turns over and stores flush with the bed floor, so the truck bed goes back to being a truck bed the moment you unhook. That one product built the company, and B\u0026amp;W still makes its hitches in Humboldt, in a plant that has grown to about 600,000ft². The company has been 100% employee-owned since 2007, with roughly 500 employee-owners who have a stake in what comes off the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe testing story is worth knowing, because it is not how the rest of the industry does it. SAE J-2638, the standard for gooseneck and fifth-wheel hitches, is a recommended practice, and it is common to satisfy it with a fresh sample for each test. B\u0026amp;W runs a single hitch through all three 300,000-cycle dynamic tests and the six static tests, one after another, on the same unit. The Tow \u0026amp; Stow line is tested to SAE J-684.
