Well when you tire of towing that monster fifth wheel, and go smaller , then you can go the steel Andersen . ![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/biggrin.gif "biggrin") I have towed many miles with a conventional hitch, and much prefer the simplicity of the Andersen , obviously it doesn't fit the need for everyone , but it fits most .

FWIW, the B&W Companions can be hooked up at pretty extreme angles, if needed. Just sayin'...

Another great suggestion if you like conventional hitches . Those auto slides from what I have seen are more trouble than they are worth .

B&W does not make an auto slide. B&W owner is friends with PulRite owner and has not designed and made an auto slide because of their relationship.

I was just referring to auto slides in general . I know B&W only makes a manual slider . It just appears these sliders manual or auto can be troublesome. I never liked my manual slider . As said the simplicity of the steel Andersen makes it a trouble free hitch .

I can't tell you how many times in the past 15+ years I've been reading RV fora, that slide hitch owners have said they spent the extra money for a slider, then never used it. More than a few said that the one time they needed it, the slides had rusted up so bad that they couldn't even use it or had to beat hell out of it to get it to move. Just sayin'...

Friends with a F350 SB bought a big Toy Hauler and had a manual slide. I warned them to be very careful and told the wife to be firm with her hubby about using the slide. He took a big turn in the parking lot without sliding and sure enough blew out the rear window.

That's the thing about a manual slide. You have to think about using it. With my auto slide, I'm using it every time I turn, in a parking lot or elsewhere, without having to think about it!
