Subject: Re: Gooseneck Trailer, Behind a semi



We bought a kingpin & made an adapter to slide up into the front hitch of our g.n in place of the socket. Loosen a couple bolts an we can slide the socket back into the hitch to pull the trailer with a p.u. when so desired.

We also put an electric brake controller in the semi. tractor. Tractor has enough braking for the trailer but to be legal the trailer brakes much work as well. You can but an air over electric controller but they are over $400. We already had the electric controller out of a p.u. we had traded off & wanted to use it. You will need a special adapter to hook the trailer electrics into the semi's brake wiring to make it work, about $75. We got ours at the local Car Quest store. Mounted the 7 pin plug in the cross brace under the 5th wheel.
