Does Truck Need to be Backed Up Straight When Connecting to Pullrite Fifth Wheel

Question:
Can a 5th wheel camper be hooked up and unhooked on a slight angle or must the truck and trailer be perfectly straight?

Hey Don, the Pullrite Superglide fifth wheel hitch part # PUL93RR that you referenced does require you to be as straight as possible when hooking up and unhooking since the hitch head has to lock to the pin box and the hitch slide forward and back as the hitch head turns. There's obviously a little bit of wiggle room but the straighter you are the easier it will be.
