Hello Jamir, thanks for reaching out. Does your 2007 Dodge Ram have a flatbed and recessed gooseneck ball? Or is it a standard bed and ball?
The Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # DM8550046 you mentioned would only be for flatbeds with a recessed ball.
If your truck is a standard bed, you would want the part # DM8550045 instead.
The Recon is an extremely solid hitch, rated for up to 21,000 lbs. It has a 360 degree jaw and 3/4" locking bar which makes for a super strong connection. It also provides 3" of offset which helps on tight turns.
The video I linked shows the Recon adapter in more detail.
What kind of camper will you be pulling?
