Trailer Tongue Extension?
I looking at getting a new utility trailer. With my Reese 3" extension the trailer ball is in approximately the correct position. The camper does not extend below the truck. I will be getting a tande...

If the ball is at or behind the rear wall of the camper, you can't turn short enough while going forward to hit.
Blanket statement... and not a correct one.
Going forward, wheel locked, many trucks can turn sharp enough to get a 90 degree angle to the trailer. If the trailer doesn't have a tongue pivot point at least 1/2 the width of the trailer away, I promise you, it will hit.
I'm running a 48" stinger... and had to stretch the tongue on this trailer quite a ways. Still tight, but works fine. Jack knifing..?? you best be on your game and be aware, as these pictures show the angle just going forward.
