Lyle,
You lost me when u said All will hit in reverse! What would the difference be? I did look at B&W slider but the weight to remove is to much for me and the boss. I have tight turns on my property and the Reese model RP30869 looks like the one I will get. Has a nice jaw lock and shock isolator and 12 inch slide.

Rock, I can go full lock, left and right, with my truck and not hit my FW when going forward. In reverse, you =can= jackknife sharp enough to hit, which I did very early on. Lucky that I hit the glass and not the cab, so it was only a replacement rear window and not body work. ALL trailers will hit when in reverse...period. (Unless you have one of those special "roof-top" hitches, like that in that old VW video that appears on here every few months.) :-) A slider just gives you more space to turn a bit tighter before you DO hit.
