What Clearance Is Needed When Towing Fifth Wheel Trailer
Question:
Dear Whom it may concern, have enough freedom of movement to move 6° forwards, 7° backwards and 3° to each side according to iso 1726. But during the revolution trailer sweeps more than 6° according to my calculations. the question is, if it is possible could you please give me the dimensional clearance between chassis top frame and trailer coupling point to avoid interference between chassis and trailer. enclosed you can find pic.

I have attached a drawing that shows how much clearance is needed when you are towing a fifth wheel trailer. You will want at least 5 or 6 inches between the overhang of the trailer and the bedrails. You also want to make sure your trailer is being towed level.
You can make the adjustment by raising or lowering your hitch in the bed of your truck or bu raising or lowering your trailer pin box.
