I am new to the forum but not to RVing.. We had Motor Homes untill last fal.. We decided to try a fifth wheel due to the size of our family. We got a used 2002 Nomad bunk house 27 1/2 foot long to try. We had to swap the axels from on top of to under the springs to level it on our Truck.. the truck is a 2002 Ford F350 4x4 four door crew cab with a 8 foot bed with a V10..
Now to the problem... The fifth wheel sits perfect on the truck. Almost level... clearance from the top of the bed walls is 6 inches to the over hang on the fifth wheel...
So you say GREAT set up... Nope.... When you drive it and need to turn a corner and go on a slite incline or decline the top of the bed rails pust up into the bottom of the fifth wheel and make some bad dents.. I cannot even back out of my drive way with the slop and crown of the road with out it hitting.... I think.. My opinion is the wheel base on the truck is my problem.. and any fifth wheel we ever get is going to do this to it.. I have driven a lot of things in my life but this has got me...
I can go up one more hole on the hitch in the truck but is that a OK thing to do?
So WE need your HELP..........
