Hi guys we just got our 35' 2012 fuzion toy hauler a few weeks ago and I have a concern about the space between the top bed rail and the trailer. Its about 5" and the trailer is level.

I just do not want to pull into a gas station on a shop with a dip and cause a mess with the trailer and truck bed.

I can move the pinbox down and I can move the 5th wheel hitch up so what can or should I do.

Thanks Ron.



Does the hitch or 5er manufacturer have a recommendation? My hitch manufacturer (Air Safe) recommends a minimum of 5 inches. That is how high my 5er sits above the rails and my 5er tows level. Just completed a 10K mile cross country trip with zero hitch/space problems.

Yea the hitch is a Curt 20k it says in the setup part to have a min of 5" 1/2 above the bed rail.

When I got it from the dealer it only had 5" and it looked level and towed nice just it was to me real close to the bed rail.
I know we are going to be taking this to a few moto cross tracks and there are few that have big dips and such in the driveways in the park.
