I'm using the Pull-right slider and actually like it. You're not going to want to take it out of the bed too often, but I've done some pretty stupid things backing up and I haven't ended up with the Solitude inside the truck yet. With the extra width of the Solitude and me not being too experienced, I used the belt-and-suspenders method of hitch selection.

The most notable plus, there is little to no sway or swerve when an 18 wheeler passes. I can only attribute it to the lower attach point of the goose ball. The ride is much smoother, but that is due to the air bag and shocks. There is no clunking, it is completely quiet. The goose ball weighs 8lbs and stores behind the seat, 30 sec and I have my bed back.

I’ve towed with Curt, B&W & Reese. All were hard mount hitches and all were easy to hitch/unhitch. 3 years ago we went to a Hensley Trailer-Saver BD5-F… It’s a total game changer! Absolutely no comparison to any of the hard mount hitches. I’ve never (not once) heard anybody who switched to the suspended hitch say anything other than what I’m saying here. In my experience (a half dozen trailers over 25 years), it’s the best towing experience possible. It’s the smoothest, most consistent pull you can hope to find. The BD5 hitch coupled with the Morryde IS produces an unrivaled road experience… just amazing how much better it is than everything else.
That said, the BD5 is heavy, expensive and needs a little more maintenance (although not much). If you want the best possible ride for you, your passengers and your coach, this is the hitch. Maybe not as important with the smaller, lighter coaches… but still amazing.2021 Solitude 380FL (Morryde IS)

I use a B&W Companion. 2018 Ram "puck" system. I like the hitch. Only one complaint. It is really heavy. I have to use a hoist to install it.

I have a Pullrite Super Glide 16K and pleased with it. Not sure you need a slider though with a 303 and your Denali. The only complaint I have about the Pullrite is the weight. It’s pretty heavy to R&R out of the truck box. If I replaced it, I would not get another slider. Too heavy and not needed with a 303 and my truck.

You need a slider hitch if half the with of your camper cap is equal or more than the distance from the center of your hitch attachment point to your truck window/cab shell. Some caps are clipped at the bottom but that needs to be as high as the top of your cab shell. There are thousands of people that have listened to Know it all`s that broke out their windows cause bubba on the forum board or the salesman said I didn`t need one. Don`t listen to anybody go measure YOUR truck/camper combination and do the calculations. They won`t be there to say opps sorry.
Backing in at night, tight, on uneven ground will prove this to be true and you will have to do it at some point.Last edited by bshgto; 12-10-2022 at 04:09 PM.
