I am always amused how many RV'ers want to be right at the edge.
Buy a SRW truck and the heaviest RV they can find.
Or they buy a large full size camper and get the shortest bed pick up available and prefer not using a slider hitch.
There needs to be a balance between truck and trailer.
For the most part a large heavy trailer requires a large heavy full size truck, so many times we deviate from these basics and choose to live on the edge with a combo that has obvious shortcomings.
Back in 2008 bought a new Montana Fifth wheel, had the somewhat rounded front corners. With the advice being given by many on here at the time , and having a Ford Superduty 350 Short bed , I went with a sliding hitch . Soon to find out after a few trips the slider was NOT needed . Here we are nearly 14 years later ,towing a newer fifth wheel with a different truck, still a short bed 2014 Ram 3500. Now I am towing with a non sliding hitch . My point , to ease your concerns , there is no need for a slider with my setup .
As with many of the newer fifth wheels, with the sculptured rounded front corners ,and pin box placement there is no need for sliders towing with a short bed truck.
