Using an auxiliary truck axle, like the Automated Safety Hitch, is definitely your safest and easiest option for towing a 5th wheel with a short bed truck. Essentially, you are extending the frame of your truck by attaching another heavy duty axle behind your truck, and the fifth wheel then attaches and sits on that axle. There are a few on the market, but the Automated Safety Hitch is your best bet; it uses a two-ton axle (so it can handle the pin weight of a 30,000 pound RV), has its own hydraulic brakes, and is fully automated in attaching and detaching. Many RV professionals believe that drop-axles like this one are the future for safe towing and they are the best option for short bed trucks and fifth wheel combinations.
