I'm considering buying a fifth wheel camper and if use a peterbilt to pull it. What is the height of a typical fifth wheel RV kingpin?

Brady, I apologize if I offended. It "certainly" wasn't meant to be!
Please explain where/ how I offended you.
I was merely suggesting that if, your local police deptment will work with you on a short run to your home, it should not be a problem. If that is the case, and of course the 5er will clear the end of the truck in a turn. I again apologize as I truly meant no disrespect!!
It was brought to my attention by my DW (dear wife), after I asked her to read the entire communication that..... I was not clear in my answer. Did not give you complete information.
Others in previous posts covered pin height, and all possible issues concerning towing with a class 8. Several of us thought (incorrectly), that this was going to be a long term use of the class 8 for tow.
When you explained that it was "only" for a ten(10) mile tow, I thought that putting on a brake controller and putting all of the lighting system, was probably not necessary on a ten (10) mile tow! Hence the suggestion about contacting local law enforcement for permission and for safety, have someone escort ( following with flashing lights,etc.). I did "not" make this as clear as I perhaps should have. I was lazy and gave a "very" brief suggestion....thinking it was helpful advice!!
Again apologies offered!
