I need some advice for setup on a B&W Companion RVK3500.
Truck:
2010 GMC 3500 Crew Cab, DRW, 8' bed
5th Wheel:
2012 Avalanche, 38', 14K lbs GVWR
Mainly I need suggestions for mounting location of the head support arms. Should we put them in the center or slightly forward? Height adjustment won't be a problem, I just want to make sure we get the fore/aft positioning of the head correct.
Thanks,
KJ
Personally, I set mine up as high and as far forward as it would go. I =want= a few lbs forward weight transfer. It's not much, but I need all the rear payload I can get, and if the front springs can support a few lbs, that's less on the rear. As it is, I'm probably going to drop it 1 hole as my new FW has more bed clearance and I'm still just a touch nose-high.
