How To Pull New 5th Wheel Camper With 2024 RAM 2500 With Gooseneck Hitch
Published 04/09/2026 >
Question:
I’ve got a 2024 Ram 2500 with the factory prep package and a new 5th wheel camper. I really don’t want to deal with a big heavy hitch or install rails. Can I just use my gooseneck ball somehow?

Hey Kyle! Yes, thats exactly what the Recon Stealth was made for.
With your factory prep package, you already have the 2-5/16" gooseneck ball, and that’s all the Demco Recon Stealth needs. The # DM22SJ drops right onto that ball and gives you a full 5th wheel hitch at the kingpin - no rails, no puck-mounted hitch, no extra hardware.
So instead of installing a bulky hitch system, you’re using what’s already in your truck.
It’s also a lot easier to live with day-to-day since it breaks down into three pieces and can be stored on the included MOLLE panel at the front of the bed.
One thing to keep in mind - this is a fixed hitch, so it’s best suited for long bed trucks, which your Ram should be if you’ve got the 8' bed. If you have short bed and RV has tapered front nose, that would typically be fine too. Otherwise we'll need to find another option if you have short bed and no tapered nose.
What kind of 5th wheel did you pick up, Kyle? Always fun hearing what people are towing.
