Makes much more sense than having that huge fricking hitch in your bed. No idea boss. Interested to learn this too.

Lots do. people who have a regular goose neck set up for farm or whatever get the conversion for their fifth wheel.

I guess becaude they are easier to hook up???

Pulled it with my V6 tacoma. I could go places with that set up.

(thinking out the box Cheaper. The fifth wheel hitch is a couple hundred bucks alone, plus the rails you get installed which is comparable to a ball for a gooseneck.

Just grab the peanut butter on the way out and it's a whirl of a good time.

Frankly, the goose neck set up scares me. Seems like a lot of weight on a smallish pole.

Goosenecks can be a pita to hook up yourself. Think I'm getting a goosneck if I ever get a camper. Already have the ball in my truck and having that monstous hitch frame in my truck would piss me off incredibly.

I bought my keystone outback 312bh when the new models came out. I got a 2011 after the 12's came out. 12k off rebate they ran on the old year models. Just so happened the only one in the country left was in shreveport. I priced some used 2010's that were 5 and 6 more than I got mine for new. They have a southern rv in laff. too my neighbor bought from. This post was edited on 9/25 at 10:59 am
