ok,
once again, i need guru help. simple help. i am not near the coach and need some measurements so i can compute the steepest angle of driveway i can have and not bottom out on my trailer hitch.
i am making the assumption the axle to the rear on the 45'8" coach is the same distance from the end of the coach on all of them. at least in my vintage of 2002.
my coach also has the 30k lb massive trailer hitch on it with the 2 1/2" receiver. so hopefully some of you have the same setup.
so, i need the measurement when you are at ride height of the lowest part of the hitch to the ground.
then i need the distance from that lowest part of the hitch to the back tire where it contacts the ground first
that way i can calcuate the angle that is maximum that i can have as a slope.
thanks guys
tom
