how long of a tow vehicke are you running 😉 I have a 40 foot 5th and one of the longest trucks (factory) and I am only 56' long hooked up.
I have a long bed Ram dually, and a 38' 5th wheel. By actual measurement, I am 64' long total. That's from rear of the trailer to front of the truck. You'd best measure again.

if your 5th pin is at the very front of your unit , and say your hitch is above your wheels where they should be to be 64' long your truck would have to be about 27 feet long. My truck is almost 22 feet long and my 5th is 39.5 feet long and I don't need to measure as every time I go accross the ferry they messure for me, I am 56 feet long from bumper to bumper.

You're absolutely correct!! My math was so far off as to be bordering on moronic. I have no idea how I added the numbers up to arrive at 65'. I'm glad someone was here to bring me up short.
I'm very sorry about that. Doh.
