My concern is Sway only.
I towed 28 foot travel trailer for 10 years. I used Hensley Hitch. In 30 mph winds and semi trucks passing never once did I have a problem with sway.
I just purchased a 33 foot Prime Time Crusader 5th wheel. I plan to buy a Dodge 2500HD short bed. My only concern for a hitch is Sway. I have no problem having a heavy hitch in my short bed I don't plan removing it. In reading many forums & topics I narrowed my list to three hitches. I am not keen on a manual slide it needs to be automatic which narrows my field of choice.
The Demco Automatic Slider. Have to grease the thing.
The Pullrite 4100 Auto Superslide. Just spay WD40 on the bars.
The Andersen Ultimate 2. No grease, no spray.
With a hitch like the Pullrite 4100 will my 5th wheel sway when semi's pass me ?
Funny thing is when I had my travel trailer everyone who towed a 5th wheel said sway was not an issue. Now I read 5th wheel forums I hear them talk about sway.
Appreciate your feedback.
