Expert Reply:

You can use the Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch # DM79GV with your Lippert Turning Point pin box as long as you lockout the pin box from turning and use the Locking Plate # DM77GV. Both the pin box and Demco can not be allowed to turn otherwise you will see your 5th wheel shift to either the left or right of your truck. And since there is no way to lockout the Demco hitch you have to lock the pin box.
