Say what? Not true! However you would want a air ride hitch. Chris

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?

The historical height is 46-47 inches to the king pin plate with the fiver level. Used to be included in the brochure specs on many fifth wheels. No one publishes it any more. Some brands may be higher today but all of my fivers have still been at that number.

Generally buy or select the 5er/TT first then match a TV to it.
