All I can say is that it towed great going for a quick spin around the neighborhood. My neighbor and I installed the Sidewinder on my Arctic Fox 29-5E. I have a Bakflip bedcover and it fits perfect over the hitch. Very good to work with! I had the hitch installed yesterday by a shop close to me and they also installed a wiring kit into the bed of my truck in a spot that did not affect the RAMBOX or the bed. My setup is a Curt 16K Hitch with bed rails using the frame kit and what really makes it work is using the Reese 5th Airborne Sidewinder I bought the Hitch and install kit off Amazon and got a great price on both. It was a challenge but I finally got it done. So they said it couldn't be done.tow a 5th wheel with my RAM the way I have set up, short bed with RAMBOX. Has to do with the wedge that gets installed. If you decide to go with the Curt Hitch be advised that Reese Sidewinder will NOT work with the new āQā style, you must get the āEā style hitch. ![]() If you only have a short bed you can use a slider or what I did the Sidewinder (which I think is much better). You DO NOT want to get a slider hitch with the RAMBOX. I have a buddy who did the same thing but used a Demco 5 th wheel hitch. The issue is only that you lose the area above the wheel wells but if you get a hitch that has a handle that either rotates or that can be modified you are good. Hopefully this will help others that have a short bed with a RAMBOX setup that have been told it can't be done, well it can but you just have to work at it. I will get the lock tab welded back on soon but for now good to go!. I did have to modify the handle of the Curt Hitch as it had too much pull distance but that was easy, just drilled a new hold for attaching and then cut it back a couple inches. Tracked well and very easy to hook up and take down. ![]() ![]() I know that someone else on here had this issue so I thought I would chime in better late than never!
