We've received conflicting information as sto whether or not we should have a slider hitch for our Brookstone fifth wheel. Please give us your thoughts.
We have an F350 crew cab short bed (6 3/4 ft bed)and a Coachman Brookstone 325 RL fifth wheel.

Pretty easy decision for me, I don't want to dent my truck. I have a short bed,so question solved. It just took a painful bite out of my wallet.The pain only last's a little while.

If your trailer is going to hit your truck on a tight turn, you might want a slider hitch.

Waste of money on an 8 ft bed.
Might be a good idea on a short bed

When someone tells you to buy the same rig they own, listen, they might be right. When they tell you to buy a different rig then they own, really pay attention, they probably know something you don't.
