  • How can you tell if a salesman is lying? Are his lips moving?

    Several brands of RVs have been designed to lower (not eliminate) the risk of the trailer hitting the truck, when the truck is a 6 ft bed. Certainly not just Rockwood.

    In fact Rockwood may not even be the "best" for not hitting the cab.

    That all being said, no rigs design is so good it lowers the chances of hitting the cab as low as either an 8 ft bed or a sliding hitch.
