Now that I have ruled out a goose neck extention.... Thanks for the
good information

The GVWR for my newly ordered WW 5th wheel is 15,000lbs

Camping World has a hitch, which pivots. Will this work?
The price is very reasonable compared to Reese.

Rugged 15,500 lb. capacity 5th wheel hitch features 4 vertical adjustments from 12 1/2"H to 16 1/2"H plus it pivots fore-and-aft and side-to-side. An innovative lock-out device and wide-stance, one-piece legs provide safety and stability while towing. A simple turn of the handle allow for swivel or non-swivel towing. Gross trailer weight capacity 15,500 lbs. Pin weight capacity 3750 lbs. Includes bed rails and mounting bracket kit.

I have a Hidden Hitch 18K doule pivot. It has the side to side pivot lockout also. I have not had any problems at all and love this hitch.
