Expert Reply:
You should not be able to manually turn, not easily at least, the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider, # DM8550024. The movement of the hitch head side to side should only be possible when the weight of the trailer is on the hitch head. The reason for this is so you will be able to connect at the same angle you disconnected from the trailer so that head won't easily move as you connect your trailer making it more difficult to align. That connection and disconnection is basically straight on.
