This was one the main deciding factors in my choosing the Andersen Ultimate 5th-wheel hitch last November for my Ram 3500 short-bed and my 3400rl.
The Anderson weighs 70 lbs. is rated at 4500 lbs. of hitch weight, and 22,500 of trailer weight. I lift it in and out by myself and store it hanging on the wall of my shed to keep my bed flat and clear when I'm not pulling.
I decided the weight savings would be better used for cargo, not the hitch.
Not to mention it was only $450 delivered! Camping World dealer here wanted about $1600 for a slider. Whew...I glad I didn't go that route.
I know I'm telling readers that all have already made their choices about hitches, but if you ever decide to change, take a look at the Andersen.
I can get very close to a 90 degree jack-turn when backing my Montana. Not quite, but very close. Here's a link showing my max. Jack turn:[img][/img]http://www.cumminsforum.com/forum/attachments/2013-general-discussion/168410d1389736433-best-hitch-rv-5th-wheel-mopar-b-w-20131124_114637-800x600-.jpg
