I have the 'AirSafe' 3-in-1 hitch and love it. The kingpin rides on heavy duty airbags. It eliminates 90% of the bucking, and going over bumps is softened significantly. They are expensive, but worth it, IMO.
Another vote for the Pullrite Superglide. With two kids I get distracted too easily. I could see them bouncing around when we first pull in to the campground and before you know it... CRUNCH.

Now you have me thinking......
Are they available with a "no rails in the bed" mount?

When my grown kids were inspecting our new fifth wheel, one asked why we bought a trailer that sleeps 4. My reply was that we couldn't find one that sleeps 2!
Pullrite Super Glide. I originally had a Reese 16K manual slide. Aside from the standard PIA of having to perform the slide steps before and after negotiating tight turns I found that my 5th wheel really bucked a lot going down the road. The Superglide 18K tows nicer and you can't help but love not having to slide it back and forth.
If you get one, go for the pin adapter that bolts on rather than welded. That way you can easily remove it if you ever need to have your trailer towed by someone without a Superglide.

Curt,
I don't know. Mine is a slider, but I didn't get the 'under bed' system. I think that if you google 'AirSafe hitch,' you'll get the answer you're looking for. They make several different types.
I've had experiece with both a rigid and the AirSafe, and its truly night and day.
