By themselves, the Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # DM8550022 and the Curt Turning Point are not compatible together, however there is a way to get these two to work with each other.

What you can do is lock out the Turning Point pin box so that it cannot rotate essentially turning it into a standard pin box.

This will allow you to use the Hijacker with your current Turning Point pin box. They do not make a capture plate for this application and you'd just need to use the clamps on the head of the hitch instead.
