Round Bar Angle Adjustment Question
With the "new to us" Dutchmen we just bought, it came with a Draw Tite round bar setup, that has the washer tilt adjustment. If I remember correctly, there is 7 washers currently, and with the bars...

Also, to the OP, when you ask a hitch question and reference the number of links, use the number of links under tension, not hanging. That information is irrelevant as all chains may not be the same length
TY Bob! Didn't even think about the fact some chains may be longer than others (# of links)!!!!
I have edited the post to reflect this correct info!
7 links- slight upward bend with a lighter fa than unloaded.
6 links- slightly more bend upward (not crazy extreme though!) returning fa to unloaded weight on the nose!
Talked to Reese/Draw Tite today and was told max number of washers for tilt is 9.
So if I add 2 more washers and go 8 links under tension (before dc is mounted) I hope to have enough room for the dual cam. With the round bar system, is it ok if the bars are pointed slightly down as well? I know parallel with the frame is ideal, or slightly up is ok as well, but what about when using the dc (old school model w/ u bolts)? Or go back to the trunnion model, possibly ordering the new model with the toothed washer?
TY!
