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...

They are more expensive but not needing to stop, drop landing gear, slide, put gear back up gets to be a pain.
No, you do not drop the landing gear. As stated and per the hitch user guide, you manually lock the brakes on the trailer.
If the nose of the trailer is close in a parking lot, all it takes is one side of the RV to be on unlevel ground at the campground backing and you may tap your cab or worse your window.
