There was a post a couple of years ago RVer towing a Alpenlite 5ver on I-80 west of Cheyenne, WY. Ripped the 5ver right out of the hitch. Wind rolls semis over. No matter what you have don't be lulled into over confidence. Cross winds on I-80 can humble the best. I watch the weather reports no matter where I am. I lived in the Black Hills for 30+ years and now live in the southeast. I have to laugh when people say it is windy down here. Nothing compared to I-80 or I-90 for that matter. When they say it is windy down here we use to say it is a little breezy today LOL.Re: Pullrite Super Glide? or Reese manual?Great stuff thank you for the comments. New to this and it all helps. Don't want to be anything but informed when we hit the road.Re: Pullrite Super Glide? or Reese manual?Let me ask this. I have a crew cab and when making a tight turn can you tell how close it is getting to the cab? I mean most of the time when making a turn the 5er is pretty close to the cab like just a couple of inches right? Do you have to worry when making most turns. If that is the case then its a no brainer.Re: Pullrite Super Glide? or Reese manual?yep good points. I have read many posts about people not having to use there glides but maybe once a year. I have never pulled a fifth wheel and don't really no what to expect. Piece of mind is worth it I guess. Thanks for the helpRe: Pullrite Super Glide? or Reese manual?I guess I should say that I don't have a 5er yet. My wife doesn't retire for a year and looking for the great deal on a rear kitchen. Maybe I am jumping the gun a little. I no some of the 5ers now I might not need a slider??Pullrite Super Glide? or Reese manual?I have a 2015 F-250 6.2 short box or 6 3/4 and the prices I got to day were Super Glide and all the you need with it was $686 more than the Reese Glide manual hitch. Is it worth the money?? Also how often do you need to slide it back and are you normally in a place where its a nightmare to do it?? ( Like in traffic }
