If I'm not mistaken, in order to use the gooseneck ball with a 5th wheel hitch the ball has to have a square base. Some others are round like the factory Ram gooseneck ball and have been told those won't work.

If its a B&W it might not be an issue as they have a fifth wheel hitch that works with some of theirs.

Look into the Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel hitch, the aluminum model that attaches via a gooseneck hitch. They weigh 32 lbs and can be removed in a few minutes. They have become very popular with 5th wheelers. There are many threads about the hitch on this forum. We're planning to upgrade from a TT to a 5th wheel, and plan to buy an Andersen.
As someone commented, don't use a goosebox / gooseneck adapter attached to your 5th wheel. The support structure in the 5th isn't desgined for the additional leverage -- bad idea.

This is a common asked question, and although many use a gooseneck adapter on their FW pinbox, it is not the best option. A FW frame is not designed for the amplified leverage of a gooseneck adapter. A normal gooseneck trailer is way stronger in the forward frame work, to handle the twisting leverage.
While many do this, say no problem, I would not go this route. If you really want to make use of the ball, there are several hitches that may attach to it. Myself, with a 3500, I'd go with a regular quality FW hitch.
