Hi All,
I've had my 08 Monty 3585SA since new, but am just getting around to start towing it. It's been parked on a seasonal site. I've been going thru the normal growing pains. Buying chocks, Teflon hitch plate, extra fuses, etc. Fuses because we blew one moving it, retracted to far ( I blame my helper
I moved it the other day with an experienced friends help, but moved it 2 days later by myself. I learned a few things already, height of hitch vs kingpin. My Reese head tilts a lot so I was too low for kingpin. Common sense let me raise 5th wheel to take pressure off hitch. What I don't know (about this alot about everything else) is how far do you normally extend legs before dropping feet and how far can these legs actually extend, not counting dropping the feet. I also have 8 inches between overhang and top of tonneau cover rails. The trailer seems level, but playing around it seemed like I had to drop it from the loaded position quite a bit. Although I am on 3" of 2 x 10s. I guess the only way to know for sure is to get on a level surface and check it.
Thanx - Dean
