I have a Chevy 2500 short bed and will be towing a 27' 5th wheel. I've towed travel trailers for years but never a 5th wheel hitch. Is the slider hitch worth the extra money? The previous owner ha...

I had an 01' Chevy 2500 extended cab/short bed towing a 27' 5er and had the Reese 16K slide hitch in the back...ONE time, ONE time, I opted NOT to use it, and the 5er hit the upper part of the drivers side back side of the cab, ....Thought it would have done something to the 5er, but it didn't, only put a dent where I stated above, cost $250 to make it looked like it never happened....IF the front of the 5er' had the indentations in it, probably wouldn't have happened...BUT, it DID happen.
My philosophy is better to have one and NEVER need it, then to NEED one in a pinch, and not have it...could get more expensive by NOT having one....unless, again, the front cap of the 5er has the indentations on the lower sides which gives more clearance to make sharp corners.
