I'm ramping up the search for a camper, and I feel I should get the T.V. ready in case I find a great deal. Is it practical to buy and install a fifth-wheel hitch before I decide on the trailer? I...

For you Andersen Hitch users. Anyone using this with a 6.5" GMC bed on an Arctic Fox product? I'm getting a 27-5L and I'm doubtful that with the 8.5' trailer width I'll be able to get anywhere near 90 degree turns, or wider turns on uneven ground or while backing. I'd love to use the Andersen, but I also value the back window of my truck. :) Thanks for any input.
That said, I'm sure this is an old topic, but if I can't use the Andersen, I like the idea of the sidewinder vs a slider, just because of the additional weight (and additional clearance). I'd particularly like to hear opinions from people who've tried both, or know of particular issues with either.
I'm a newbie here, so if there's a link to previous discussions, that's fine, too.
The Andersen hitch pivot won't be any different - and in fact might even be a little further back - than a lot of other hitches like the one I use in my 6.5' bed without a slider (I own a slider, but it isn't in the truck because I don't need it). You will be fine judging by the curved cap.
