Oscar and Gordon are spot on in recommending the dead level height. You won’t know that until you get the tow plate installed and place the Subie behind the coach. The expression is no two Newells are alike, I have seen a multitude of different hitches that came from the factory with a range of about 6 inches in hitch to ground height. So even if I gave you the dimensions of our coach and the Subie toad, that may mislead you more than they would help.

The reason that an unlevel tow bar affects the handling and tire wear on the toad is that the force of pulling the toad if the the bar is not level either lifts or pulls down slightly on the front of the car. It’s enough to impact the front end alignment settings of toe in and camber on the car. If the toe in is not correct on the two car, it will dart from side to side.
