Yes, you can! I would just need to get the information off of your trailer's pin box. There will be a sticker that will have some or all of the following serial, RPO, LCI number. There will also be a date of manufacturing. If you could email me a picture of this sticker or send me all the information you can find I would be happy to recommend the correct side winder for you.

The Reese Sidewinder item # RP34FR you were looking at fits the following pin boxes:

Fabex 663
Fabex 665
Lippert 0719
Lippert 1621
Lippert 1621HD
M and M 663
M and M 665

@CraigL Hey Craig thank you so much for the information! I just heard back from my rep at Lippert and your 5th wheel trailer has a 1621 pin box. This means you can use the Reese Sidewinder item # RP34FR you were looking at.

We can get your 2019 Ram 2500 short bed with RamBoxes set up with a 5th wheel hitch, and you'll need a fixed hitch instead of a slider because your 5th wheel trailer will require a Sidewinder rotating pin box. A Sidewinder moves the pivot point…

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
