5th wheel hitch

Just bought my first Montana. I have a chev 3500 standard bed and need an auto slide hitch. What is the best one?

We've full timed for 12 years, worked for fish and wildlife in some really hard to get to spots and traveled over 100,000 miles all with a Pullrite hitch. Never a problem and have turned or parked several times when others thought there was no way.

Pullrite, what DQDick said, best all around, good customer support if needed.

You sure you need an auto slide? These new trailers with the latest design with the front caps can allow some pretty tight turning ability.

I've got a Curt manual slider hitch, and sometimes we really don't even need to use it, so I will second the front cap being pretty maneuverable. But, at the same time, when you need it it's nice to have. But I'm happy with the manual element.
