Hello Dale,
Wowzers, that is quite the set-up you have! As long as you have enough clearance, you can definitely use a cargo carrier while towing your 5th wheel. The biggest thing to watch out for is whether the front of your 5th wheel swings wide enough to potentially contact anything mounted on the rear of your truck.
I think our 24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - Tilting - Folding - 500 lbs # e98874 would be a great fit for your Ram, but I’d still recommend double-checking the clearance just to be safe. Also, the # e98874 would fit nicely in the # D210 that you were looking at.
Let me know if the measurements work =)

Hey Dale, did the clearance between your 5th wheel and Ram 3500 work out with the cargo carrier setup? Once you checked those measurements, were you able to make the # e98874 and # D210 combo fit safely? Your results could really help others towing with a similar setup.
