I went from a manual slider to a Superglide early last year. Have not had a problem hitching, I get it lined up and have the pinbox a little lower that the hitch so it pushes the bed down slightly. On releasing, I've had a few times I haven't been able to pull the release handle until I got back in the cab and backed up enough to take the pressure of the connection. I haven't had the sidewinder to comment on it.
this is the same situation I have had with the SG just got back from a 5 week vacation and hitch and unhitched many time with ease. only 5th I have had.
do not think about sharp turns or u turn or backing up.
I did readjust the big bolt in the back to take out any looseness from wear and the hitch never swings around when disconnected. I would recommend
to others.
"do not think about sharp turns or u turn or backing up"...:h..:h
34 ft 5th.
U-turns:
I live on a 22 house residential cul-de-sac street. I'm at the "entry" end.
Every time I bring my trlr home, I make a U-turn at the end of the cul.
Never had a problem - even when a couple of cars are parked there.
Never had to "adjust" or back up to accomplish that.
I have made U-turns in intersections - of course "analyzing" the room available beforehand.
"or backing up"
Maybe I'm missing something??..:?
Back up with my SG regularly.
If *you* have difficulty backing, find an empty parking lot and practice.
