If your 32ft Rockwood 5th wheel with the pivoting Revolution pin box is the only 5th wheel you will be hauling you can use a fixed position hitch like the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package - Slide Bar Jaw - 16,000 lbs # C16515-16021 in your 2022 Ram 2500 6-1/2' bed with the factory prep/puck mounting points.

You will need a Sidewinder Wedge # C16991 specific to the Curt E-series 5th wheel hitch to ensure it stays locked in position and only turns on the pin box and not the hitch head.

The Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R20 Slider # C16541 and Adapter Rails # C16022 may be the better option if you plan to also haul other campers that do not have the pivoting pin box. This will ensure that you can still make jackknife turns to maneuver the camper with having the 6-1/2' bed.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
