5th Wheel plate height
What is then height of the 5th wheel plate on your truck? I am specing a 650 with a tow body and am doing the math- working towards a configuration whereby my RV will still be level when hooked up. My trailer is 700 miles away at present, so can't work it from that end. Just trying to do some preliminary stuff while still in the dream stage.
