Question: I was told by a friend that due to my 6' box I would need to get a sliding fifth wheel? Is this correct? Just looking into something for the future...maybe.

it depends on the kingpin, if they have the extending hitch on the front and not the drop down then you can. Ive pulled plenty of fifthwheels with the short bed. It would make it nicer but plenty do it without one.

X2. Some people who have a sliding hitch have never needed it but there might be that situation one day that you might need it.

I've got a slider and have never needed it. I've got a heartland sundance and it has contours on the edges of the front. This allows use of a shortbed without ever getting close to the cab

Anybody with a swb pull a 5th wheel with a tool box in the bed?

I dont have a toolbox and i dont believe there would be room unless it didn't come above box rails, then you'd be ok

Yes. What kind of toolbox?

Idk its flush with the top of my bed. I have a gooseneck ball and the way its mounted it's about 8-9 inches from my toolbox. Wasn't sure how the 5th wheel hitch mounted. I plan on buying a 5th wheel camper next year just trying to get my ducks in a row

Another question. Does having the fifth wheel in the bed kinda ruin your chances for using your box when you are not pulling or is it fairly easy to take out?

If you get the B&W turnoverball and companion hitch you only have a small round piece of metal flush with your bed when it's removed....they also make a companion slider to help when maneuvers make a short bed tight......

Nice Rides and Nice Trailers, makes me look like I'm Towin' a shoe box. Starting to look at a Mountaineer though, should compliment it nicely.

Just bought this one. Sold my 32ft one for a smaller one so I can pull my fishing boat behind it.

Just bought a 39 ft 5ver.Was concerned about bed space too.4 pin bolts to remove like a hitch and pulls right out of. Just 2 rails stay.

not unless you get a superglide, 4 holes flush with the bed, but that sucker is heavy, takes about 1 minute to remove with a hoist
