Sliding Hitch
Who has a 6 1/2 ft bed and doesn’t use a sliding hitch? I’ve had two RV dealers and the company that makes the 5th wheel we are interested in tell me I don’t need a sliding hitch with a standard 6 1/2...

The only way to really know if you need a slider without a hitch installed is to back the truck under the fiver at a 90 degree angle leaving a few inches between the cab and cap. Will the pin be centred in the bed and over the axle? If so, you don’t need a slider.
Lots of people who have done this hit their cab due to the 5th wheels being on uneven ground and tilting the cap into the cab. The proposed test is presumably done on flat ground. Problem is the world isn't flat :)
