That ^^^^ would be my first choice for an auto slide since B&W does not make an auto slide. Pull ride is US Made also.

Amazon has a Curt R16 (slider only) for $273.35 or Head & slider for &631.81. I have the Curt Q16 w/slider and like it.

If your Truck is 5th wheel and gooseneck preped.. Give this a look. I really like it. Bought mine at tweetys.. Easy to put in and take out..

The entry level sliders have 4 spring loaded pins that need to be lifted and turned before the hitch can be moved, once hooked up they are almost impossible to reach. Ours is a pita, fortunately we don't need this feature with our current trailer. Make sure you get a single lever release. The better ones also use a jaw to capture the pin rather than a bar for a more secure lock.

I use a Reese 16k with reese manual slider. Reasonable price came with our 5th wheel. I tow our second RV a 2001 Fleetwood Prowler 255B 5th wheel with our Supercrew King Ranch 5 1/2 ft bed. I have only had to use the slider once when we ended up on a dead end road and had to make a really tight turn around. The Prowler design works for a shorter box.
