NO! Don't try this unless you can block the slide from moving. When you make a turn the 5th wheel will turn and slide but not the way you want.
You are asking for a lot of trouble.

That's the answer I was looking for. You need the capture plate, but why?

Thanks Bird.

I'll come up with a capture plate before I move the rig.

The Capture Plate is attached to the trailer's pin box skid plate. When hooked up into your SuperGlide hitch and ready to tow, it isolates the rotation of your trailer's king pin in the hitch. Movement and rotation is then transferred to the automatic cam action of your SuperGlide hitch
