Convert-A-Ball

<h3>About Convert-A-Ball</h3><p><strong>Convert-A-Ball</strong> is a family-owned American manufacturer that has been engineering innovative towing solutions since 1985. Based in Sidney, Nebraska, the company was built from the ground up with a simple but powerful idea: make towing safer, simpler, and more versatile for everyday drivers and seasoned towers alike. Decades later, that founding philosophy still drives every product they design and build.</p><p>What truly sets Convert-A-Ball apart is its pioneering approach to towing hardware. <a href="/6652-convert-a-ball-trailer-balls-covers-201088">The company is widely credited as the original designer of the interchangeable hitch ball system</a>, a concept that eliminates the need to carry — or swap out — multiple fixed-ball setups when towing different trailers. With a single shank and a set of interchangeable balls, operators can move between 1-7/8&quot;, 2&quot;, and 2-5/16&quot; ball sizes quickly and without tools. This kind of practical ingenuity is what has earned Convert-A-Ball a loyal following among horse trailer owners, RV enthusiasts, farmers, and commercial haulers.</p><p>Beyond the interchangeable ball concept, Convert-A-Ball pioneered the <a href="/6652-convert-a-ball-ball-mountsreceivers-200129">cushioned ball mount</a> — a design that uses a polyurethane interior to absorb road shock and dramatically reduce the jarring vibration that wears on both tow vehicles and trailers. The cushioned mounts minimize the notorious &quot;bucking&quot; effect and metallic clanking that plague conventional solid-shank mounts, resulting in a noticeably smoother towing experience, especially over rough roads and uneven terrain.</p><p>Convert-A-Ball's product lineup extends well beyond trailer balls and ball mounts. The brand also manufactures 5th wheel-to-gooseneck adapters and adjustable cushioned hitch systems, making it a one-stop resource for a wide range of towing configurations. All products are manufactured in the USA — a distinction the company takes pride in and one that resonates strongly with customers who prioritize domestic craftsmanship and consistent quality control.</p><p>Whether you're leveling out a loaded livestock trailer, connecting a camper to a lifted pickup, or adapting a fifth-wheel setup to a gooseneck ball, Convert-A-Ball has engineered a solution for the task. Their commitment to real-world towing performance — backed by nearly four decades of refinement — makes them a trusted name on job sites, ranches, campgrounds, and highways across North America.</p>

Product Details

The Convert-A-Ball C5G1216 is an adjustable 5th wheel to gooseneck adapter that allows gooseneck hitch owners to tow 5th wheel trailers with ease. Manufactured in the USA, this adapter bridges the gap between gooseneck ball setups and standard 5th wheel king pin boxes, offering a versatile and heavy-duty towing solution.

Key Features:

  • Adjustable Height: Fully adjustable from 12" to 16" — measured from the top of the gooseneck ball to the kingpin plate — to accommodate a wide range of trailer configurations
  • 360° Cushioning: Features two internal polyurethane cushions for full 360-degree shock absorption, reducing bounce and vibration for a smoother ride
  • 20,000 lb. Gross Towing Weight (GTW) Capacity with a 4,000 lb. tongue weight rating
  • Compatible with 2-5/16" gooseneck hitch balls
  • Safety Chains Included for added security during towing
  • Lockable Coupler: Coupler locks with a padlock for theft deterrence and secure attachment
  • Durable Alloy Steel Construction for long-lasting performance under tough towing conditions
  • Made in the USA by Convert-A-Ball Distributing Inc.

The C5G1216 is the ideal solution for truck owners who already have a gooseneck hitch setup and want the flexibility to tow 5th wheel trailers without purchasing a separate hitch system.

The turbo (s475sx-e) has been my best purchase this year. The order was placed at the end of the workday and Thmotorsports shipped it the very next morning, also the box arrived in magnificent condition, the turbo was picture perfect without a blemish. Thmotorsports was the most affordable out of all ten sites that were considered, with top notch shipping. I have to say Thmotorsports was the best choice for my genuine part.

I ordered the products, the products were delivered, and I was satisfied. A good transaction.

Very easy to order from your site,it was my bad that I had only purchased one rotor on Sunday and wished that I was prompted "do you need just one" and not two rotors? But it was my mistake. Bob Rowean.

Awesome experience! Would definitely do business with you guys again

Very quick turnaround with best online price. Would highly recommend!

Fast, fast, fast. No issues. No worries.

Delivery was later than expected

My product came on time and in excellent condition. I couldn't have asked for more.
