Backing into a tight campsite or making a sharp street turn doesn’t have to mean stopping and pulling a release handle. The Demco Autoslide automatically slides up to 14" toward the tailgate when turning and returns toward the cab when you straighten out. The rack-and-pinion gears keep the motion smooth and controlled, so every pivot feels natural. You stay in the driver’s seat while the hitch handles the clearance for you.
With a gross towing weight of 21,000 lbs and a vertical load limit of 5,250 lbs, this hitch is built to pull large fifth-wheel trailers with confidence. The sturdy steel construction and black powder coat finish hold up to long trips and rough roads. The base drops right into the underbed mounts so you have a secure foundation for towing heavy rigs without flex or movement.
The single-hook jaw design wraps completely around the king pin for full 360-degree contact. That tight fit cuts down on rattle and chucking, giving you a smoother, quieter ride. A solid 3/4" thick steel locking bar sits in front of the jaw to add another layer of security once coupled. It automatically locks when the jaw closes, so you know the trailer is firmly attached before you hit the road.
The head pivots both front-to-back and side-to-side to help absorb road shock and ease hitching on uneven ground. Three polyurethane dampeners cushion those movements to reduce noise on rough pavement or expansion joints. The head tilts naturally as it meets the pin box, so hookup is straightforward without needing perfect alignment.
When it’s time to use your truck bed for something other than towing, the hitch can be lifted out after unlocking the handles from the receiver pucks. The design breaks down into manageable pieces—the head comes off separately from the base—so it’s easier to move without special equipment. Once removed, you have a full bed ready for work or cargo again.
This fifth-wheel trailer hitch is not compatible with Sidewinder or Revolution king pins. Do not use any device that changes the pivot point of your trailer's king pin with this hitch.

Overall the hitch is working well. As mentioned before the guide that need maintain the 5th wheel hitch aligned need to be taller to both to guide the hitch in as well as keep it aligned during a turn.

After a full year I love this hitch. I overcame the weight problem by installing a winch on my garage reinforced rafters. Now putting it into and taking it out of my truck bed is a one person job!

That doesn't sound like a pleasant experience. Sometimes chucking can happen if the capture plates are not adjusted properly. I'd check the plates and do any needed adjustments to see if that helps smooth things out.

When we took our trip for a weeks getaway it worked flawlessly driving and parking the trailer in tight quarters. The slide allowed me ample room to make tight turns without damaging my cab. I highly recommend anyone to purchase it.

We will need to know what pin box is in use on the trailer? Provided that it is NOT a suspension pin box, we would need to know about the proper setting of the capture plates on the top of the hitch head. If the capture plates are not set correctly as indicated in the image above, then the pin box on the trailer is not properly captured to turn the hitch head as the truck turns. This can cause the jerking and what you have described as slipping.

I reached out to the manufacturer and they recommend to check to make sure that the built in capture plates are adjusted properly. If the capture plates are too far apart, it allows the head to turn and slide back and forth when it should not. It is critical to have the capture plates just one sixteenth of an inch on each side of the pin box for a total of one eighth wider then the width of the pin box.

Rehitching at an angle is an issue with Demco. The reason the hitch head does not rotate back to the center position is so you can connect at the same angle you disconnected from. If that head was loose it would be more difficult to align your trailer. That being said, it is not recommended to either couple or uncouple at an angle with this hitch due to the autoslide feature. It is best to be at no more than a 15 degree angle.
