Short bed with no slider hitch
How many have short beds and do not use a slider?
Forum Discussion
At the 2 year mark of full timing, and about 30,000 travel miles, I would have said "have a short bed with slider and never needed it".
That all changed recently. I was backing into a really short tight spot in Florida. Site was a little soft and it allowed my fiver to lean slightly. That was just enough to close the normal 1.5" gap I would have normally had between the edge of my cab and the corner of the Montana when cranked all the way.
If a neighbor would not have yelled at me I would have dented my truck and fiver!
So it is not always just the angle you are at, it could be the tilt of the truck or fiver that could determine it you need your slider on a short bed.
