Distance between 5th Wheel and Tow Vehicle

Post by watkinsk »

As some of you know, I had to change my Pin Box from a RotaFlex to a Mor/Ryde. I have a short bed Dodge 3500 and a 2010 3050RL. Now, I am curious as to what this did to the distance between the rig's front (bottom) and the bumper of my vehicle as well as the cab of the truck and the 5th Wheel's overhang. I am asking because I know the Mor/ryde shortened the distance, I just don't know how much.

Questions: In tow mode (if you have a slider) or regular hitch connection:
1> What is the distance between your rig's front (bottom) and the bumper of your vehicle?
2> What is the distance between the cab of your truck and your 5th Wheel's overhang.?

Thanks for bearing with me as I continue to gain confidence in my 3150RL's capability.
