With a normal uncushioned pin box, you will feel every bump, bang, jerk, tug and sway when you are going. This is because it is a hard connection. However, you can get an aftermarket upgrade for your camper’s pin box. There are rubber cushion options which help, but they are not near as effect because there is no way to adjust for weight. The best solution is an air ride pin box or a 5th wheel to gooseneck air conversion kit. An air ride pin box or air ride 5th to gooseneck coupler system allows you to adjust the air pressure for your load and your personal ride preference. Pin box with air ride allow you to fine tune the shock absorbing, shock dampening for your preference.
5th wheel hitch set ups are more stable for campers because of the bulky front. However, because it is a higher connection in your truck, it is also rougher riding than a gooseneck setup, as the gooseneck is lower in the truck bed, which the tugging and weight distribution is lower, which makes for easier towing when the weight is closer to the rear axles than when it is higher.
Gooseneck towing is more stable, as the connection is lower in the truck bed and positioned over the rear axle, which ultimately distributes the towing weight more evenly and offers more balanced towing. It also frees up cargo space, because you only have a gooseneck ball in your bed, rather then a bulky 5th wheel hitch. With an air ride 5th wheel to gooseneck coupler kit, you get better weight distribution, but also all the benefits of air ride including less damage to camper, adjustability for shock absorption as it filters the bumps, tugs and sways though the air ride system.
No. It is illegal for a camper trailer manufacture to tell you this. As long as the 5th wheel to gooseneck conversion kit has the weight rating and capacities on your original pin box and uses the factory pin box holes to install the aftermarket pin box and gooseneck coupler, it would not void the warranty. The Magnuson-Moss Act 15 U.S.C. § 2302(c) prohibits companies who provide warranties for their products from disclaiming the warranty when a consumer uses a different company’s product in connection with such product.
