New to 5er need advice on a hitch - Autoslide vs Air Pin Box

[TenOC]

1. I am sure this has been discussed before. I did do a search, but did not find what I am looking for.

2. I know some people like vanilla and others like chocolate ice cream -- or Ford vs Chev vs Dodge so I may be opening a can of worms.

I am in the process of purchasing a new RV. I have found a very good deal on a used 32 foot 5th wheel-- much better than for a TT. I have never owned a 5er only TTs, but the price on the 5er is hard to turn down.

With the 5er, I will need a 5th wheel hitch for my short bed 2016 GMC 2500 crew cab diesel truck. I have looked at You Tubes and Google 5th wheel hitches and see that there are a number of different type/brand of hitches. For my TT I purchased an Hensley Arrow hitch, because I wanted the "the best" to prevent sway.

I will use these brand names only as examples of what I am think about a auto-slide hitch that mounted in the bed such as the pull-right autoslide or a Reese 5th Airborne 5th Wheel Air Ride that mounts on the 5er or some other hitch air hitch or an air ride pinbox that will reduce the shock of the 5er.

Your suggestions are welcome.

Check out the Anderson Ultimate Aluminum hitch. Only weighs 35lbs vs 200+ lbs works well with short box truck. Reasonable cost $900 CDN.

Many people will tell you that you don't need an auto slider and if you are infallible you don't. I still make mistakes every once in a while so I feel better with my PullRite autoslider especially after seeing a couple of truck-trailer contacts with resulting damage. A cushioned pinbox will remove a lot of the chucking movement.
