I currently have a Curt 5th wheel adapter that goes into the b&w gooseneck, along with the Patriot 5th wheel hitch. I first bought the Patriot for my 2nd gen which had rails in the bed. Then when i got the duramax, i got the Curt adapter. Everything works perfect with no issues, until i got the 2015 Ram.

I couldn't get the pin to latch when putting the adapter down in the b&w in the truck. After some research I found that Curt says its not compatible with certain years of ram 2500/3500 trucks (12-18) i believe. I had the whole system in the Ram, and hooked up the trailer, once the pin weight pushed down, the adapter locked into place. The only way to unpin the adapter is to have the camper weight on the 5th wheel hitch.

Is anyone using this type setup, and doing this process? Am I damaging the B&W goosneck hitch in any way?

Cant see that it hurts it too bad as the adapter is solid all the way thru so pin shouldn't be putting and bend in the pin of the hitch.
