*help!!*
I need to know, is there anyplace that sells an adapter to tow a 5th wheel from the bumper position? I have an opertunity at a smokin deal on a 20' 5th wheel, but I can't install the 5th wheel hitch, I have to have the bed space to haul my quad. Is there a way for this to be done??
Thanks!!

Wow is all I can say, that is something I would never try to use.
all the reasons above already mention and consider you are adding another pivot point when backing up.
Be care with this setup, you might look into a over the cab rack for the quad, and stick with the normal fithwheel set-up
check this site for info on what you are trying to do, just be safe & be informed.

Ive seen this before only it did not extend over the bed and the guy was towing a fifth wheel with the quad on the cab.
