I just swapped out my manual slide hitch with a Demco autoslide. I tried a couple of times to back in without sliding the manual one because it was a pain and the trailer got pretty close to my cab - close enough before 90 degrees that I would go through the pain of sliding just to avoid the horror stories I've read about here. The manual slide was enough of a pain, however, that I sucked it up and bought the Demco and it is so much nicer to simply not worry about hitting my Dodge 2500 cab. I have too much invested in my trailer to risk it.
