Helpful Expert Reply:
The slider of the B and W Patriot slider part # BWRVK3270 is a manual slider meaning you'd have to get out and manually activate it any time you needed to move it. For an automatic sliding hitch you'd need something like the part # DM8550034 which fits the same rails as the Patriot but slides automatically as you make tight turns.
