dbenoit Report post Posted March 18, 2019 Very confusing looking this up, does this seem right: Measure from top of MH receiver tube to ground (A) With tongue of tow dolly leveled, measure from bottom of coupler to ground (B) B - A=C If C is negative I need a drop, if C is positive I need a rise. I know it will be negative. Does that calculation sound about right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wildebill308 Report post Posted March 18, 2019 I never did any fancy calculation.😁 Just set mine up so the tow dolly was mostly levell. When braking you don't want to have it pushing up or down. I think I needed a 10" drop. One thing to keep in mind when you have the drop in place it will make it easier to drag the drop on driveways. or any transition to a parking lot/road.

dbenoit Report post Posted March 18, 2019 I’ll have to hitch up and load at the road as the driveway goes down hill at a slight decline. Have to back MH down. I’m moving the MH to the driveway this weekend so I will do the measurements just to see if it’s close. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
