Product Description
Tow your fifth wheel with confidence. This Demco fifth wheel hitch is engineered for smooth, quiet towing and easy hook-ups, built in the USA by a name RVers have trusted for decades.
The Autoslide automatic sliding hitch is designed for short box trucks to give additional clearance between the truck’s cab and the trailer during turning maneuvers. This hitch may allow 90 Degree turns, but not in every case. There are many variables that can influence the ability to make a full 90 Degree turn, such as trailer width, sharp or rounded trailer corners, truck cab profile. The placement of the trailer king pin box also has a part in determining the turning ability of the truck and trailer. It is always recommended, even with an automatic sliding hitch, that the trailer be equipped with an extended pin box that projects out forward from the trailer. Caution should always be exercised when using this or any hitch to ensure that the driver is aware of clearance between the truck
