fifth-wheel toyhaulers
Anyone have experience towing a 5th wheeler with a short bed pickup, for example a Ford F350. I am just starting and hate to make a mistake, if the short bed wont do the job. I know a sliding hitch is...

I don't use a slider in my short bed. Andersen rail mount flipped to the rear and I can turn plenty tight, and my current fifth wheel has a old school square front. I think Rams have the shortest short beds too.
You could also use a standard hitch with something like a sidewinder pin box, and you'd appreciate the lighter weight of a non-sliding hitch.
X2 with the Andersen hitch. Turning radius, though, depends as much on the design of your front cap and how far forward the pin box is as it does on the bed and hitch combo. We have no problems with a Grand Design Reflection fifth wheel and the Andersen hitch on a 6.5' bed.
