As far as getting a slider and using the camper to pull it out I have a couple issues with that. Not meant to disparage others who may be doing it as I have heard that suggested from multiple sources. First the pin box is not designed to have 200+ lbs hanging off of it, and if you take it off you still have to get it detatched. Secondly people complain about backing up to get the goose ball connected that would probably be even more difficult.
Personally what is best for me is to get the factory pucks installed and get a BW Companion that connects to those and mount the adapter in the most rearward holes. I can then take it out in two pieces. IF I have a problem then I will get a rotating pin box, but I doubt I will based on the max turn technology. Just my .02 and YMMV

I know you've made up your mind about forgoing a slider. But you might give Pullrite standard hitches a look. I currently have a Pullrite slider #3100 which is a nut-busting 350lbs. I love it, and I hate it. But what I really love about this hitch, is the locking pin mechanism. When you're backing in to hitch up, you get a very loud answer. A solid banging noise letting you KNOW you're locked in. When I upgrade my TV, I'm going to sell off that slider in a heartbeat. But I will get another Pullrite, just for that locking feature.
