Question:
Does the Reese 30092 fifth wheel slider hitch set up sit the pin in the same spot as a standard fifth wheel pin when in the towed position? Im wondering if I was to just take out my non moving fifth wheel hitch and install the slider, is the trailer going to be in the same position when being towed normally? thank you

Expert Reply:
When in the towed position a 5th wheel hitch with a slider like the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with Square Tube Slider # RP30051 that you referenced the hitch will be in the same position as a stationary hitch. Its only when you have it in the rearward, maneuver position that it will be slid further back in the truck bed.
I attached an FAQ on fifth wheel hitches for you to check out also.
