Abstract
A conversion system for enabling a camper trailer with a king pin to be towed by a vehicle having a ball-type hitch. The system includes a clamp comprising two U-shaped members adapted to be fitted around the king pin of the trailer, a plate which is connected to the U-shaped members, a neck which is connected to the plate, and a socket at the lower end of the neck for connection to a conventional ball-type hitch. The conversion system can be attached to any conventional gooseneck camper trailer without modifying or damaging the trailer or the hitch. Then the camper trailer can be towed by a truck with a conventional ball-type hitch.
