Could 2016 GMC Sierra 3500HD Short Bed Get Away with Demco Recon with 3 inch Offset

Question:

I dont tow often and hate to spend the money for a slider hitch. Will the 3foot offset allow for most turns in my 6.7 bet. My King pin is a Mor Ryde and looke like it is extended.

You most likely could get away with not needing a slider hitch since the bed length of your 2016 GMC Sierra 3500HD is 6-1/2 feet which is on the longer side of a "short bed", you have an extended pin box, and the Demco Recon part # DM8550045 does have a 3 inch offset. Also, nowadays fifth wheel trailers are being made with more taper to the nose to allow for short bed turning clearance.

If you can get me the model of fifth wheel you have too I can also check out the nose of it and see if there's much of a taper.
