All you experts weigh in please. Got my new B&W slider installed today. Hooked to my 5th wheel for the first time and slid it forward and locked. With my tonneau cover locked all the way forward I have about 2 1/4 inches between it and the front of the pin box That distance is fine just not sure if it will clear when I turn. I don't really have room to back under at an angle where it is to see if it will clear. Just wonder if some of you have run into the same issues.

 

that is mighty close! I'd take the cover off, move the trailer to a location and put it back on. Then have a spotter watch is as you creep into a turn.

 

Looks really close. I'm surprised that you don't have more room than that. Is your rolltop a Retrax Pro? I have a Retrax and have way more room than that..

Is your pin over the axle? Or more toward the front? Is it the Ford puck system? I'm curious how your clearance got this short.

At least the rolltop is easy to remove . . . .

 

Yes, it is a Retrax Pro. I have the upriites on the hitch in the rearward position. Yes it is the factory puck system.

 

If I were in your situation I would follow the advice of Scott (Senix) and replace parts as/if needed.

 

Your base is in backwards. The giant orange sticker goes toward the front I believe (or hope!). It's either you or me... I hope it's you!

EDIT: Just checked... see the RVK3370 instructions, your whole slider is in backwards. You'll need to swap it around and then redo the arm install.

 

Yep, figured that out not too long after I posted this. Shouldn't try to do things when your on meds. I've got shingles on my face and that alone messes with your concentration plus getting in hurry. Haven't fixed it yet, hopefully tomorrow. I figured it was something I did wrong. What gave it away for me was when I realized the lever for the slide was on the passenger side.

 

Good catch on the latch.

 

Swapped it all around today and it sure looks better. Thanks everyone for responding and not giving too hard a time!
