Fifth Wheel Hitches – Best Price!

This video takes a look at the more radical ideas that some people think might be a solution for towing 5th wheel trailers with a short bed truck. Mounting a hitch behind the truck axle, or changing the towing pivot point to behind the axle, creates unstable, unsafe, and dangerous towing characteristics. No knowledgeable RVer, RV Dealer, or Hitch Installer would suggest or consider these options. Moving the towing pivot point behind the truck axle induces dangerous trailer sway, and eliminates the advantages inherent to 5th wheel towing – with the trailer now having a negative effect on the safety, stability, and handling due to cross winds, passing trucks, and unexpected maneuvers. Safe handling speeds will be significantly reduced.

This video segment demonstrates the option of a manual slider hitch that many short bed truck owners consider when wanting to protect their truck, trailer, and passengers from accidents while towing their 5th wheel trailer. There are lots of drawbacks to a product that requires you to remember to physically re-position the hitch before a safe turn can be made – something that leaves many at risk of accidents and damage if they forget – not to mention the “hassle factor” If “safe, Convenient, & Hassle Free” are important factors, a manual slider isn’t the choice!

Scott Haan with American RV shows Fifth Wheel Hitches and the options that you have with them. The difference between sliding hitches and rigid.

The ONLY proven solution for 5th wheel trailer towing with short bed trucks is the SuperGlide hitch – automatically sliding the trailer away from the cab while making short turns – without stopping, getting out of the truck, or having accidents by forgetting. It always works – protecting your truck, trailer, and passengers. Watch this video, and see how – moving up to 50% farther than manual slide hitches – AUTOMATICALLY!
