If you are changing your tow vehicle or your trailer, or setting it up for the first time, I think that this video will be helpful to you. In this second video about how to level up your rig, I will be adjusting my set-up on a hard surface to make sure that both the Tahoe and the Winnebago trailer are level to the ground. This is very important when you are towing a heavy trailer. I have provided a link below if you want to shop for a new 2" drop or a weight distribution hitch. Make sure that it works for your particular set-up. I have also shared a link for my new video editor, which I LOVE, because it is simple and easy to use.
I love to camp and travel, so I invite you to subscribe and come along.
In a nutshell, here's what I did-
1st - Set the correct ball height by either matching the height of your previous vehicle, or by leveling your trailer to the ground and then measure to the top of the tongue where the ball fits in. Set your ball at this height on your drop. See IS YOUR RIG LEVEL?? Part 1 for more info.
2nd - measure from the ground to the bumpers of your tow vehicle, front and back, without the trailer, on a flat level surface, like I did in my garage. Then note the difference. With my Tahoe it was 2" lower in the front than the back. Do the same for the trailer at the frame in the front and the back. Mine was 17" from the ground to the frame, front and back.
3rd - With the trailer hooked up, and on a flat, level, parking lot, adjust your spring-arm tension and ball position to achieve a level set-up, like I did in this video. If you can't get both the truck and trailer level by adjusting the spring arm tension at the chains, then you will have to remeasure and change the ball position on your drop. I got mine close enough on the first try.
I hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
