I have the Reese 16K manual slider. My problem is that the slider will not slide back when hooked up to the RV. It will slide easily when not hooked up. The service manager of my dealer says that Reese recommends dropping the landing gear and take some weight off the hitch (my pin weight is a little over 2K pounds) when want it to slide to the maneuvering position. It seams like a lot of hassle to have to do this every time I want to use the hitch slide. Has anyone else had to do this?
Reading the operating manual, it does say to take the weight off the hitch before sliding it back. I have done it both ways, the thing is if it hangs up, and then comes loose it hits pretty hard. Which ever way you do it do as said before keep it greased up well, and take it slow.
