Short bed with no slider hitch

How many have short beds and do not use a slider?
  • No slider and I have a back rack installed. I can get 80* with the rack.
    I do agree the front cap and the yr of the 5'er will make a difference weather you need one or not.

  • Short bed and no slider. Haven't been in a situation where I needed one.
  • 6 3/4 bed, no slider no needed for it yet.

    I know when I start to see my bumper clearing the opposite side of the trailer that I'm getting close.

    I can turn sharper than my previous Travel trailer.

    It really depends on the pinbox and the front cap, not all 5th wheels are equal.
  • I do, and don't. Seems like the slider would never be needed.
