I just ordered a new R178 and I'm in the process of fitting a WDH for it. Does anyone know the approximate coupler height above the ground for a R178 with the axel risers installed? Thanks

You really can't set the hitch up until you have the trailer, but top of the ball height should be around 18" if I remember correctly. That's either correct for a pod.. or an Airstream.. 50/50 chance.  BTW, it takes only a couple minutes to adjust ball height on our WDH, 'cause we have to do it when we switch back and forth. Only two bolts. ------------- |

I just ran out to check my ball height and it was a hair under 20 inches to the top, and we do have the axle risers on our R178. I haven't checked for level while hitched on a level parking lot but it should be close.

My 2014 178 is just a tad over 20 inches.

That height is with factory-installed risers.

| My 177 with risers is right around 20" as well. |

Just bought a 178 last weekend with 3in risers. Top of ball was 20-21in before coupling.  |
