I setup my companion.The arms are all the way forward and in the center holes. I have 10 inches of clearance at the front and 9.xx at the tailgate.I put a level on the ground outside of the door and then inside on the floor and got a .8 degree difference in slope with the 5th wheel being the greater number.I'm trying to decide if I should lower my arms one more tick.

Lower the arms by 2 inches. Be sure the STRAIGHT side of the head supports are closest to the cab.Good call on the B&W!

Then maybe I should go find a scale...That is always a good choice to know your weights!On LEVEL ground measure from bottom of RV frame to ground at front and rear. Weigh the trailer axles separately also.
