SO, if I'm reading this right, the rail-mount Anderson would be a good choice, only if the 5th wheel front cap is rounded enough to not impact the truck rear window? Is the rail-mount a manual slider?
But, if the front cap is rounded enough to prevent impact in tight turns, a slider wouldn't be needed anyway, right?
No the rail mount is not a slider . I have looked at your fifth wheel online , and the corners are round like many are. The rail mount Andersen is designed along with the adapter , to be run in different positions for a short bed or long bed . You will not be hitting your window if its ran like mine is with my Megacab. But you can if you work at it ,and not pay attention ,you can do the same thing with a long bed . If worried get an auto slide hitch, pretty sure I posted what you can do there also, a lot more money ,but still a good choice . To answer your question many tow without a slider, but you can't think because those corners are rounded off ,you can't hit, you can.
I have towed many miles with that Andersen, as many have also. Its your choice.
There are three bedrail adapters , I call them picture frames that can be bought to attach the Andersen or another rail mount hitch too. The adapter mounts to your OE puck system on that Ram . There are many out there manual sliders ,auto sliders ,the Andersen . The list goes on .
