Yet another hitch question but with a little twist & incline
We have a 2010 F350 short box and plan on purchasing a 2015 Grand Design Reflection 337RLS. I have done a lot of research on hitches but I have not found an answer to my question so I would appreciate hearing from people with experience.
We are fortunate that we will be able to store the 5th wheel at our property but when we load / unload the camper the truck would be going up an incline at would be about 40 degrees turned. The camper would be level but the truck would be at the incline and turned 40 degrees. It is a little tricky backing in but very doable.
From the little research that I have looked at, it appears that the sliders do not like to be hooked/unhooked at much of an angle nor an incline. Is this true and what are the limitations?
Rather than a slider, I’m also considering an Anderson hitch. I like everything about this hitch but I’m wondering if the angle and incline would have any impact on loading / unloading.
I would really appreciate hearing from you.
Thanks,
Fartlek
