Converting 5Ver to a Goosneck

Can it be done, and what are the disadvantages with either setup.

Here's why, We just bought a 29' 5ver, and my truck has a lay down goosneck ball already installed. I would like to use the goosneck instead of messing with a 5th wheel hitch all of the time.

Thanks for any input on the matter,..
