Thanks guys. B&W's are heavy units to move around. I know some disassemble I see a lot of trucks with them and they are expensive. I do like their campanion slider with the factory puck turn and twist.

I do like auto slides. Not much of a fan of super glide do to the capture plate. Thats why Im leaning toward a demco.

Never heard of Anderson. The goose neck attachments I never understood why people use them. There seems to be a lot of torque from the fwd and back motion from stopping and accelerating.

I didnt look at the front cap if it has radius corners or not. Something to look at during pdi.
Edit: there is some radius to the cap.

Curt is another slider Im looking at.

Reese on their site shows an auto slide but no info.

Do some research on the Andersen. Its not a GN in the typical sense. It does NOT put additional stresses on the trailer like your speaking of with a traditional GN

Its been one of the most popular/fastest growing hitch the last couple years.

Actually, the Andersen can damage your pin box, as I learned the hard way. Seems Andersen knows about it as they've built shims to prevent it but they play dumb, blame the pin box, and develop communication issues if you do have problems. I really wish I had gone with the B&W in the first place. Much better hitch, albeit a real pain in the back to move around.
