Tailgate up or down?
We've got a Grand Design Reflection 28bh coming. It's got the standard Lippert pin box. Our truck has the factory Ford/Reese 27k hitch. I'm a total newb at this. Do I back the truck up to hitch wit...

He is talking about when you are backing up to connect the truck and 5er. The tailgate must be down at that time or the fifth wheel's pin will not clear the tailgate.
A minute apart and you said that so much more clearly than I did. (thumbsup)
More just a story than anything as it isn't practical...
I had a delivery driver pickup my camper to take it back to the factory. His tailgate wasn't working (he said a new fifth wheel's landing gear gave out and dropped it onto his truck bed).
He had to raise the front end of the camper to get the pin up and over his tailgate. I was pretty impressed that the landing gear had that much travel! It took forever- that was with electric landing gear and it was soooooo slow.
