Expert Reply:

There is a way to take you're canoe while your towing a 5th wheel trailer with your 2018 Ram 3500. I recommend using a front mount hitch Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65063, and Rhino-Rack T-Load Hitch Mounted Load Assist and Support Bar for 2" Hitches - 49" Long # RTL002.

The front mount hitch # 65063 will give you a place to mount the load extender # RTL002. You will need a roof rack to support the other end of the canoe. For a roof rack you could use the parts # RRVA150S-2, # RRRLKVA, # DK043 if you have a crew cab or mega cab on your 4-door 2018 Ram 3500.

I linked the products mentioned, and a few videos for you to check out. Happy Camping!

I also linked a photo of a similar, discontinued, load extender being used with a canoe and fifth wheel together in this manner. This is not the # RTL002 but it will give you an look at the overall concept.
