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...

I agree Dave...while 90 degrees makes a reference point, it is impossible to back a FW trailer at that angle. As you approach 90 degrees, you are just pushing the trailer sideways, and severely twisting your suspension. You need to pull forward a little, straighten a little, before proceeding to back.

Finally someone debunked the 90 degree bull. A little up a little back a little up a little back. In 40 years and never had to do 90 Degrees. But I did have a Pullrite slider for a time and it came in handy more than once especially at night, yep a little messy but worked well.
Well from the lack of response, I doubt many are backing in at 90 degrees, or they don't realize what 90 degrees is .
Just watching 45 degrees , and what the tires are doing, can't imagine what 90 degrees is doing to them as well as the suspension , especially on cement or asphalt .
