Blue Ox Super ride help

[Devind33]

So I just bought my first fifth wheel and I had a Blue Ox Super ride installed on rails in my truck. The website is not very helpful my tuck is a short bed and the head of the blue ox does not slide. What I can’t figure out is can I make the adjustment for a short bed with the trailer connected or do I need to remove the trailer and reconnect after positioning to back it up with my short bed? Anyone have some insight on this?

Have not seen one live but here is my guess. This hitch pivots instead of slides to give clearance for backing. I would figure you pull the release mechanism, apply trailer brakes, and pull forward with your truck to put the hitch in the backing position. Do the opposite to lock in towing position. Previous member with this hitch reported that this was very simple.

Sorry, his feedback was on a different forum and is the only review I have seen on this hitch. Here it is:

Ok so here it goes
Pros
Super easy to operate. Evening switching it to the maneuvering position is a snap. Can be done in less 45 seconds.
Easy to take out. Comes apart in three pieces. Maybe 5 mins
No chucking very smooth ride and quiet at that
No grease needed
Cons
Not many
Not an auto slider but its simple to slide it back and honestly I have not needed to use it at all. I've tried many different spots and angles no issues. And I only have a standard bed
Directions say tighten center bolt on the kingpin model to 45 foot pounds. I needed to tighten to 110 foot pounds to get no movement of the hitch it the truck bed. No big deal

Overall I enjoy the hitch
I must admit thought this is my first 5th wheel as i have towed travel trailers for some time now. But it seems to be a very good setup.

Let me know your thoughts or questions.

Not familiar with the Blue Ox.

Watching the video on their website it says move locking lever to rear position. Apply trailer brakes and move truck forward. Does not suggest anything on hooking 5er.

Good Luck.

I have a B&W slider and there is no need to unhook 5er to slide the hitch. Just pull the lever and engage trailer brakes as well as chock wheels and pull forward slowly until it moves.
