Semi to haul
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?

I would really just need it to pull a trailer like 10 miles from the dealer to the farm.

Don't matter. a Class 8 fifth wheel and a 5er king pin are 2 different animals. You'll need to remove the fifth wheel and replace it with an RV fifth wheel. There are other issues as well. especially brakes.

Howdy!
The problem with a commercial class 8 hitch is it doesn't articulate side to side which can cause damage to the structure of the 5er.
