I'm one of the few that uses a Gooseneck. I've never had a fifth wheel prior to this one and know nothing about typical 5th wheel hitches. But I do know that they are heavy, cumbersome, and take up space in the bed of the truck. In a lot of other forums, and a few trucks that I've ridden in with a 5, there's a lot of complaining about clunking going on. My Gooseneck is MorRyde and DRV approved, makes no noise, disappears when the trailer is unhooked, and I cannot imagine a better towing experience. Initially, I did notice some slippage in the joints that are secured with large bolts, but after I got it where I want it, I brought in a welder and he sealed/welded both joints all the way around.
