Again, this is NOT something that I do on a regular basis, if at all. But, I wanted to know for sure that it would clear without hitting.
But, there is a big however: While it did make it to this point, it has to be on almost FLAT ground. If there was any elevation change between the truck and the trailer, you could and WOULD still hit the cab when you were backing if you were not paying attention.
It was important for me that I have a very tight turning radius too. We have a situation in our driveway, that in order to get turned around, I have to the have the cab of the truck right at the nose of the camper. IT IS VERY TIGHT. If we didn't have clearance, I could still turn around, but I would have to do it with several adjustments forward and backward, and I would have to pay attention not to hit the cab. I don't want one more thing to worry about when I'm backing or turning...
