I would wait to buy a hitch until you buy your RV. Many will not need a slider, and even if you do, you can make it part of the package when you are buying the RV.
I have had both a manual slide and a Pullrite, with two different trailers. My first RV I had for 2 years and I NEVER needed to use the slide. On my next (current) RV, I needed to slide it back EVERY time I put it away in my garage. The manual slide is a pain in the but. And, as others have said, you really have to watch the distance between the cab and trailer One time I did not, and ended up kissing my truck and putting a nice dent near the back window.
If I went back to a short bed truck, I would go back to a Pullrite.
