I think the average fifth wheel owner gets a hitch, and hooks up ,and goes. I never gave any thought at all to hitches until I started reading some of the ridiculous claims about hitches. IMO a hitch is a hitch. They serve only one purpose .
Best advice instead of pounding a certain brand of fifth wheel hitches down someones throat , is to pound into them proper hitching procedures.
To answer the OP ,my only consideration for changing hitches would be to change from a manual slider to an automatic. My advice to anyone with the little price difference of manual slider compared to a automatic, just go with the automatic ,and be done with any hassle involved with a manual slider.
