Slider hitch issue - Need Help!

As others have mentioned it helps to take some weigh off the hitch before sliding. That being said, my slider is easier to get from towing to maneuvering than it is to get back into towing position. To avoid having to move from maneuvering to towing I usually use my slider hitch when backing into a campsite and then immediately unhook afterwards. If I am immediately unhooking I leave the hitch in the maneuvering position, unhook, and push the hitch by hand back into the towing position so it is ready for the next time I tow. Since I have never encountered a situation going forward where I've needed to slide the hitch the only time I have to move from maneuvering to towing is if I stay overnight in a campsite and do not unhook the trailer from the truck which is very rare (maybe once a year) and the one time this occurred this year it was faster and less stress to unhook the trailer, push the hitch back to towing position, and rehook as opposed to banging the hitch against the stops as it brook free and moved back to towing position.
