Using "maneuvering" position on slider

I have been making sure I am on a level surface when I do this but this is my procedure. If I am in towing position I move the handle to un lock,,apply my trailer brakes only,,,,slowly pull the truck forward till the hitch travels to the rear of the rails,,,apply the e-brake on the truck. Move the handle to maneuver. Everything goes the same when switching into haul. I always double check that the handle is fully locked into either tow, or the maneuver position before proceeding. If I am ever in doubt I do a trailer brake pull test to make sure the hitch does not slide on me. Hope this helps.

I drop the front landing gear enough to take the weight off. I tried without doing so when I first got it and always had a heck of a time getting it back to the travel position.
