Buying a 14 2500 CTD tomorrow and it has the Rambox, which I think is really cool. I guess there could be an issue with a 5th wheel hitch. Most hitches say "not recommended for Rambox".
I have seen on some forums that guys have done it successfully using a non-sliding hitch and a sidewinder. Any experiences?

The only guy I know who tried ended up going with a travel trailer after having a shop full of techs try for hours to make the 5th hitch fit. I think you're facing an uphill battle.

There is a handful of folks that did it using the Slide Winder on the fiver's pin box. You will have to search in the towing forum on rv.net

Seems to be fixed hitch with sidewinder, modify the handle by an inch or two

Yup, this will work and is about the only option you have.

I haven't done it myself but have seen a couple while out camping and had to stop over to take a look to see how it was being done.

With the rambox being so versatile you would think some more options/designs would be on the way. A shame to have to choose between the two. I'm sure it's being worked.
