If it dries out enough I'm going to get it out tomorrow and start fooling with it. I'll post measurements and pics if possible. It's been parked since Oct.
Going to the RV show today, may just bring home a 5er and be done! lol
Yes, get fender heights, front and rear:
- Truck loaded but not hitched
- Truck hitched but no WD engaged(just unhook the snap ups)
- Truck hitched with WD engaged. on 5 links and on 6 links
Measure like this. Straight up through center of axle, ground to inside fender. Measure all 4 wheels or just stick to one side of the truck front and rear. Odds are high all 4 wheels will be different. The truck is not build even or load even plus it is on "springs".
If you get the 5'er, then you can start all over again on the learning curve.... New hitch, different way to back up, do I need air bags... The only way to get simple in camping is a backpack and a tent... I use to only carry 50# on my back and had every thing I needed. Now I haul just under 10K including the kitchen sink... and still enjoy it...:B It can just be more "work" to get it all set up.
Have a good show
