Newby Toad question

Friends,

We are getting ready to go south and today I tried the hitch set-up and have some questions.

1}There is 4 feet between the toad and the MH.The Blue Ox sticks out of the receiver about 7 in. Do I need another hole in the tow bar so I can shove the hitch in farther? It seems like the hitch hangs so far away from the back of the MH.I can shove the hitch into the receiver another 6-7 inches but no hole for hitch pin.

2}The center of the MH end of hitch is 17 in and the center of the connection to the car is 14, I believe I am ok here-- right??

3}The entire rig is now 60+ feet is that ok?

I've tried a picture they are posting wierd.Sorry!

Most states are 65 Ft. length limit. If you want the hitch shorter just mark it and drill new hole. It is mild steel and drills easy.

You are fine. There is no tongue weight so the hitch is OK.
Enjoy

If the distance between car and MH is to short there is a chance of car and MH meeting if you turn real sharp.

Keep an eye on the camera until you're sure how tight you can turn.

I have moved your thread here to the Toads and Motorhome Related Towing forum from the Towing and Tow Vehicle forum... which is for folks discussing tow vehicles for trailers, etc.
