5' 6" bed pulling 5th wheel
What hitch are you guys using to pull 5th wheels with the 5' 6" bed? Found a 1996 jayco 207 looking to buy just need to figure out the clearance issue between cab and front of camper.

Here is what I did before I started into my research. I cut 2 pieces of paper, to scale (truck and trailer), attatched them with a small pin, then turned the "truck" until the "trailer" hit it. Measured the angle. It was about 35 degrees if I recall. You can also use triginomics to calculate the angle knowing the width of the truck and distance back that the pin and trailer front is.
In other words, you need either a sliding hitch or a pin extension like the Reese Revolution.
