after going thru this forum i decided to go with a gas f250 auto 4x4 and purchased a demco auto slider of 18k.
after a lot of hitching problems over the couple of yrs now that i had the setup, i finally decided to post about the problems with the demco. and to start off i had neck surgery with fusion and my head movement is limited which means i am totally dependent on mirrors to backup to hitch. and this makes it very hard to hit the narrow opening of the hitch point. so with that said at my last park we stayed at i was able to back in and setup pulling out straight with no problems, but when we went to leave there were rv's beside us and across the street and i did not have the option of backing in straight let alone pulling out after hooked up. so i had a friend with a regular hitch on a long bed hitch up and pill me out cause he was able to hitch at an angle and pull. where the demco i think you are not able to turn the hitch. or is there away i can turn the hitch to hookup so i could have pulled out on my own?
help!
