2019 174BH coupler height

[Austin77]

hello, I'm looking at buying a 2019 174BH and I'm wondering what the proper height is for the coupler when hitched to my TV.

TIA

The trailer should be level as possible. If you can not get the trailer level, slight coupler low position, of 1 to 2 inches. If you purchased the RV from a dealer, they should help set it up. Are you using a weight distribution hitch?

Iv been towing campers for years now. My current set up requires 21” from ground to coupler to keep it level. I’m just wondering what the factory requirement for the 174bh is so I can have it set up before I get there.

I won’t be using a WDH. I’ll decided if I need to invest after the first few trips. But I’ll be towing with a truck so I doubt it.

If you want the trailer to sit level after the truck squats under the tounge weight, put two guys (to equal the weight) on the bumper to measure the drop at the rear of the truck. Add that difference to the height to the level, unhooked tongue. At least that is what I would do. I am not sure, but I think the top of the ball is the reference point for the tongue and for the hitch... (ask)
