Is there a Replacement Slider Base of an RBW 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch on a 2001 Dodge Ram 2500
Question:
If i buy a used RBW 15K hitch, can i make it into a sliding hitch? Is there a kit from RBW? I plan on installing it on my 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 short bed and would like it to slide.

RBW is now a part of ALKO and they no longer make available any parts for the RBW products. If you need a slider hitch you will need to get a new one.
You can actually get a 15k slider hitch and universal installation kit for a good price using # PS30129. Most replacement slider bases for other hitches cost almost as much. I have included a link to the installation instructions for the installation kit along with a video showing a typical isntallation for you.
