Your total length, truck and trailer

Hi all,

I may have found an opportunity on a fifth wheel and I’m waiting on the specs, but I believe it’s going to be a 40 foot long Montana.

Right now, hooked to my travel trailer, I know my truck is 22’ long and I have a foot more for the wd hitch, then my current travel trailer is 28’ long from coupler to spare tire. I can safely figure that I am 51 feet long overall when hitched.

I’ve tried searching every way I can think and I’m not coming up with a solid answer for myself. I figured (and am probably wrong) that about three feet of the fifth wheel length will be in the bed of my truck, then about three feet of my truck will be under the fifth wheel. So if I take six feet away from the truck and the trailer, I’m coming up with about 56 feet long overall when hitched. Does this sound about right?

Does anyone with a crew cab long bed truck know what they’re overall length is with their 40 foot fifth wheel hitched? Anyone possibly with a (within five year old) Montana?
