Hey Craig, In order to tow a fifth wheel trailer using a 2020 Ram 1500 with RamBox you'll need to use a rotating pin box like the Reese Sidewinder which will be specific to the trailer. This is so that the pivot point is moved up high enough that the Ram Boxes won't get hit around corners. If the trailer uses a Lippert 1621 then the correct Reese Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pin with Rotating Turret is part # RP34FR.

Then, you can complete the setup with the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit part # RP56018-53 and Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # RP30047. The Sidewinder Wedge Kit part # RP44FR is also needed.

Thank you Jameson. We have a 2018 Grand design Reflection 303RL, so would your recomended set up still work with our fifth wheel? Thank you Craig

@CraigT Yes it does, we have determined from previous customers that your camper has a Lippert 1621 pin box like what that Goose Box is designed to fit.
