We had a goose neck put,on our 2955 5er by the dealer. He found nothing wrong with doing it. While traveling, I stopped at another dealer for supplies. They warned me about having the goose neck on the Monty. They said Monty was not designed for that and Montana would not cover damages caused by it.
Got home and had it removed.
Benefit s are added space in bed of the truck and it is easy to remove the hitch. Many balls willl roll over and disapear under the bed. Any weight benefit will be countered by you adding more stuff in the bed.
Bad points are as mentioned before plus I believe you need safety chains, like a trailer because of the ball versus the 5th wheel. So, I had them and had to crawl into the bed to hook up and unhook the chains.
Stay with the 5th wheel hitch. Just my opinion though...
