General 5th wheel hitch question.

Recommended Posts

Bought an old 5th wheel hitch.  I’ve had it for years. Works great. No issues.  Pull a 5th wheel rv.  My question is this.  Is there a formula for adjusting?  Currently it sits in the middle height.  I could raise it 2 more notches or lower it 2 more notches.  Never had a problem with clearance but got to thinking about it again and thought I’d put the question out there.  Thanks!!

The first thing to look at is how level the trailer is when hooked up. Then the next thing is to see how much clearance you have between the truck bed and trailer. If you have 5 inches clearance you shouldn't have much problem, but more is better.

Uh, ya know, that makes perfect sense!  I appreciate you responding.  Never thought about this before and, to date I’ve never had an issue with clearance but when we pull out near the end of the month I’m going to measure it.  Thanks again sir!
