I have that same GenY setup, it looks like you can move the king pin up one more set of mounting holes to get a little more clearance, 6-8 inches is recommended.
I've looked at moving the hitch up but one set of bolts would not fit if I did. I've looked up videos on adjusting the hitch and I couldn't find any that discussed using less bolts then what it had on it originally. We can get 6" by adjusting the air bags down in pressure and 6.5" with minimum pressure in them. If you know where I can find specs on the minimum number of bolts for the hitch I would appreciate it.
Yeah, it was a tough pill to swallow. You know it's going to happen eventually, but it always makes you sick to your stomach when it does happen. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Loud noises that vibrate. Most common exterior vibrations are from loud noises traveling through the asphalt and up the metal jacks like garbage trucks or dump trucks. I'm a light sleeper so that type of thing can wake me up. Most common interior cause for vibration is walking around the RV. It also helps the jacks to grip better.
@@sandydavis3101 Thank you for watching and commenting. We have been looking into how to maximize our clearance. Without raising the suspension on the trailer I am not sure we could get to 8. We'll be filming an update on the next video. Did you have to change anything to get 8"?

Great video. Keep having fun.
Thank you! We hope you will join us as we continue on our journey 😍
you were so calm about the camper and truck touch.
Thank you, we have had a lot happen while rv'ing. Thank you for watching and commenting.
I have that same GenY setup, it looks like you can move the king pin up one more set of mounting holes to get a little more clearance, 6-8 inches is recommended.

@@todayisouradventure You would not use less bolts but move them all up one hole if possible.
It doesn't look like we have room to move them up and use all the bolts. So we may be stuck where we are.
Ahhhh man, only two months I wouldn't like that they need to fix there roads.
Yeah, it was a tough pill to swallow. You know it's going to happen eventually, but it always makes you sick to your stomach when it does happen. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Man! I really hate that this happened to you guys
Yah, us too! Thanks for watching and commenting 😍
Curious as to what kind of vibrations would be coming up from the ground, or coming from the trailer into the ground.
Loud noises that vibrate. Most common exterior vibrations are from loud noises traveling through the asphalt and up the metal jacks like garbage trucks or dump trucks. I'm a light sleeper so that type of thing can wake me up. Most common interior cause for vibration is walking around the RV. It also helps the jacks to grip better.
You have 6 inches of bed rail clearance ?
Thanks! That's definitely something we're concerned about as well. We will check into and update on this in the upcoming videos!
I like 8inches of clearance between bed rail and camper
