Can Short Bed Truck Tow Fifth Wheel Trailer with Turning Point Pin Box with Fixed Hitch
Question:
I have a Ford F250 super duty with a 6 3/4 bed, do I need a slider hitch. I also have a grand design with the turning point king pin but would rather not use it. Thanks

Since your trailer has the Turning Point pin box you do not need to use a slider hitch. A fixed hitch would work just fine like the Reese hitch part # RP30928 that you referenced which I think would work really well for you.
The pivoting pin boxes are much better than using a slider hitch so I would recommend sticking with that if at all possible.
