Misinformed. My 5er is 37 ft from the pin to the rear of the fiver the 5th wheel hitch for the pin is 2inches in front of the trucks rear axle.
Not necessarily.
My fiver is a "3600" model.
Main box length: 36'
Pin length: 40.
Total trailer length: 41'10".
I used to have a "25" TT.
Box length: 25'
Total length hitch to bumper: 29'10".
It depends on how the numbers are presented and by who.
