I installed one on my camper last year in the dealers parking lot in about 30 minutes. They have to be one of the easiest hitches to install as there is no angle to have to mess with on the head when installing.
The main thing is you want your camper level or a little nose down. For sure not nose high while towing.
Take measurements from the ground to the top of your wheel-wells before hooking up to your trailer. Of course your rear will drop some with load. You just don't want your front of your truck to raise up.
You can add more weight distribution by reducing the number of chain links on your latch up to help bring the front down if needed.
I would suggest getting a socket and a nice breaker bar to carry with you to latch up the chains and forget the short tool they give you.
Hopefully I helped some.
Would you mind checking what size socket you use with the rotating latches? I don't really like the short wrench that they provide either!
I'd check myself but my trailer is in storage right now and I'd like to get the correct socket before I head back out to the storage lot.
Thanks!
