On a '97 Dodge Ram short bed where do I install the fifth wheel to pull a '96

[lizzye71]

25' Coachman Catalina Lite? Do I bolt it in front of the rear axel.. evenly direct over it ?? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I've never done this before. I know I am fully capable of doing this myself to save me labor but I just need some direction on how to do it. Any websites would be grateful as well too. Anyone ever installed one before??? Really need help here.

it bolts to the center of the frame on that one,right over the rear wheels,you have to remove the bed and mount it then cut a hole in the bed for it come out of ,it has to be mounted to the frame in order for it to work right,carefully measure the bed where you have to cut once its mounted on the frame,i have installed a few of these before,you really need a bigger truck to mount this on,good luck.
