Same here noneck. I have both, and have been pulling goosenecks since before I had a drivers license. I have no trouble hooking up either one, but I do prefer the king pin hitch.
Carol made a good point. The gooseneck trailers, whether for equipment or livestock, are designed and engineered for much greater strength in the neck area. The steel, or aluminum in some cases, is much thicker, wider, and HEAVIER, than what is required for a camper trailer. Sure, they could design a 5er with a much stronger neck, and frame, but the added weight would constitute a larger tow vehicle.
