A camper trailer tongue is the cupped attachment point on the trailer tip that grasps the hitch on the towing vehicle. Once connected, the trailer can be safely towed.
A common height for a camper trailer tongue attachment to a hitch is 18 inches. This can vary though, depending on the weight load of the towing vehicle and the trailer. After attachment, both vehicle bodies need to be in a level plane to function safely.
To create the correct height for a level trailer and tow vehicle, adjust the height of the hitch until both are visually level. For extra precision, use a measuring tape to verify that the height of the trailer and the towing vehicle are equal.
