I have noticed that some of the 5th wheel hitches that only have the slding bar that slide across behind the pin. I had one of this type for a while, the bar started to wear a flat spot on the back side of the pin and my hitch had about 3/4 inch play from side to side. I could actually see the 5th moving when traveling winding highways. I prefer the locking jaws type, where the jaws actualy fully suround the pin. Thus the 5th feels like it's part of the truck.
