To upgrade hitch or not
We are about to buy our first fifth wheel and I have been shopping for a hitch. Over the weekend, I can across a hardly used Reese Kwik Slide 15K hitch with rails. It is about 5 years old, but was only used one time to permanently set up their camper. Long story short, they needed it gone within 8 hours and I gave them $150 to "take if off their hands". They were moving the next day and needed it gone.
Anyway, my only reservation with the hitch is that it did not pivot from side to side, only front to back. Never owning a fiver, is this a problem? I went to the local installer and he offered me $600 and said I would be happier with a 4 way pivot. I'm pretty happy with only spending $150, so is it worth trading up, or just be sure I'm level when unhooking?
