I would be happy to help you and have a perfect set up to pull your Winnebago Micro Minnie with your 2021 Ram 1500. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C13419. This is a custom fit 2" hitch receiver that has a 6,000 lbs gross trailer weight and a 600 lbs maximum tongue weight. I have attached an installation video and picture for you to see how easy the install is and what the final product will look like.

To round out your towing setup I recommend the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches item # C45534. This towing kit will provide you with a 2" Ball, a fixed ball mount with a 3/4" rise and 2" drop, and is rated for up to 7,500 lbs. It also includes a hitch pin and clip, hitch receiver lock with keys, hitch cover, and a storage case.
