Timesquare- I tow a 2014 Winnebago Lite Five 30FWRES with my 2014 Ram 2500 6.4L Hemi and I love it. I haven't weighed it out yet being fully loaded but I max out the RV at a little over 12K.
The one issue you have to take into consideration is the 5th wheel rail adapters. Presently (as of last month) no maker has an adapter for the new rails in the 2014 as they changed everything with the new suspension. Initially I was concerned until we researched the Andersen Ultimate Fifth Wheel adapter. This piece of equipment is a dream. Very easy to remove from the bed of the truck when not in towing configuration, no plate popping noise you get in a typical fifth wheel either.
Good luck in your decision and hopefully this will help your process.
My understanding is that if you get the Ram Fifth wheel prep package with the adapter frame most hitches will fit the adapter just as if you have bed rails this means you would not have to buy a new hitch.
The new hitch for my Ford was $1300 dealer cost? so the $400 dollar frame could save you some $.
