Looks nice. You might try a slight hitch adjustment, add a leaf, or move some weight to the rear to get it just a pinch more level.


Not bad as is and may tow just fine.

I'd try going up one more chain link on your WDH. Also, looks like the trailer tire may be a tad low.

The bars look level. I would tilt the head down one notch and chain back up. Nice looking rig, have fun!

you are correct, I just glanced at it. not much experience with StarCraft RV's. but it is a nice looking rig for sure. agree the hitch needs small adjustments, took me hours to get mine to what I think is best.

It is a StarCraft Launch.
I towed about 50kms with this set-up and it worked just fine.
Some 80 km/hr roads with some hills and some 100kms/hr 4 lane.
