hi,
what is the minimum length tongue you can use with a motorhome without fear of hitting. (i am looking at a used trailer w/a 48 inch tongue)
thanks

besides the clearence the extra length is like putting a bar on a wrench to get better leverage (less stress on the rv)
better too long than too short
you can get a longer draw bar hitch to put the ball out farther but it puts more load on the hitch
or even better is a trailer toad,will solve clearence and weight problems
