Works great except we just upgraded from a 1500 to a 2500hd diesel which sits a bit taller than the 1500. Now for the problem, I only have 1 more notch to drop the hitch, so about an 1” or 1 1/2”. Right now there’s about a 4” difference from front to back of the RV and I’m thinking dropping the hitch 1 more inch won’t level it out. (simple math  ) I can’t lower the sidewinder pin box because the ears of the camper bracket drop below the sidewinder and will not allow for proper turning. I’ve read that if your camper isn’t completely level when towing, the tires on the back axle could run hot and blowout. Obviously we want to be safe when traveling but don’t know how to address this issue. |
Go scale you rig ready to travel and note trucks GVWR and payload capacity. Bet your over payload on the truck.
