Hitch Height
The correct hitch ball height is listed on the chart below for your folding camping trailer.
It is measured with the camping trailer in a level position, measuring from the top of the
ball to ground level.
Jayco Incorporated cannot be responsible for the suspension system of any tow vehicle.
There are a variety of suspension systems available on tow vehicles today which will
effect the ball height, stability and levelness of the RV when hooked up to the vehicle.
Make certain your dealer is aware of the type of tow vehicle that will be used so a
compatible hook-up can be achieved.

them from becoming tangled. If the cables become entangled, it could lead to breakage
of the lifter cables when the roof is raised.
