The Demco Hijacker AutoSlides like the part # DM8550034 really only can be connected/disconnected when you are totally straight.
I called my contact at Demco and asked about disconnecting and the angle it can be detached. They told me that there is a 10 degree angle that the trailer can be disconnected to with the Autoslide.
