New to TCs and researching my first purchase. I've recently read about COG and I have seen it measured in numbers such as .54 etc. does the mean the center of gravity is 4" in front of the rear axle? ...
Short bed camper on a long bed truck might put the COG 8-10" behind the truck's rear axle. Not a big deal. No worse than a 500lb tongue weight on the rear receiver.
Long bed camper on a short bed truck, now you're looking at a couple feet behind the rear axle as sleepy says. OK, if the camper is light, within the weight rating listed on the truck's glove box. Not OK if it's an 11' behemoth. Can you say WHEELIE!
