Hitch Heigth

[vannma]

I am picking up my new Wildwood FSX 187RB in a few days. Does anyone know the size ball and hitch heigth from the ground for this camper? I am wanting to purchase the correct hitch for my 2015 RAM pickup.

I doubt it was intentional, drsteve. First off, they have no idea how you're going to be loaded out for a trip. Second off, time is money and the less time they spend on your hitch, the more money they get to put in their pockets.

187RB is a single axle travel trailer. Won't need a WD hitch on a RAM pickup. I'd just get an adjustable height like a B&W Tow & Stow.

I purchased a new Coachmen last year, and the dealer set my new hitch up while we were doing the paperwork. I fully expected to have to make major changes, but they nailed it. I added a bit more tension to the WD bars when loaded for camping, and it is spot on.

For that light trailer an adjustable ball mount will be fine. Either of these should work.

MaxxTow 6" drop / 7 7/8" rise dual ball adjustable 12,000 lbs.

MaxxTow 5 3/4" drop/rise 10,000 lbs Tr-Ball.

Consider buying your new hitch from the dealer and having them set it up.

Best just to call the dealer you bought it from....get them to level it and measure the height and tell you what size ball....It's going to be either a 2" or a 2 5/16". Single axle trailer...probably a 2".......but call and get it right before you get into ordering hitching equip.

Congrats on the new rig..
