For any short bed truck, such as your 2022 Ram 3500 SWR, I always recommend either a sliding hitch or rotating pin box.

If you have a fix position pin box and the Ram truck is equipped with the OEM Prep Package/Puck system, I recommend the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider for Ram Towing Prep Package, # BWRVK3670. This is specially designed to attach to the receivers in your factory 5th-wheel towing prep package, the slider base on this hitch helps eliminate clearance concerns during slow-speed turns.

If your 5th wheel RV has a rotating turret type pin box, because your Ram truck is equipped with the OEM puck system, I recommend the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package, # BWRVK3600. Like the slider type listed above, this is specially designed to attach to the receivers in your factory 5th-wheel towing prep package.
