Despite having these great forums that sometimes educate and inform, and virtually always entertain, I'm surprised to see folks still not understanding the limitations of different RV/truck combinations. If you buy a shortbed, a 5th wheel "will" hit the back of the cab at a point earlier than it would with a longbed. If you buy a slider, the back of the pin arm might hit the tailgate when slid. If you set the hitch up to low, you might hit the bedrails, configure the combination too high and you get terrible handling an might overload the rear tires. Educate yourself, understand the limitations or your equipment, and when you do get careless and have a major "opps", Post it here so the rest of us can laugh at your expense, while secretly being glad it wasn't us this time.
Now, why is it that you don't hear the TT folks blaming the hitch manufactures when they jackknife their rig and damage either the tow vehicle or trailer? They also don't seem to post it much in the forums, but you see folks doing it from time to time.
