Hitch height

We traded tow vehicles several months ago. We had a Land Rover Discovery that pulled our '67 Globetrotter. Now with a 3/4 t Duramax x-tend P.up I can't remember what our hitch height was. Had info in the trailer, but now can't find it. We have 205X75X15 radials on it. Any suggestions for our hitch height. Inland's phone has been busy and our vintage airstream guru at our local dealer has left.

Hitch height

Just my two cents - generally hitch height is 19 1/2 in. But thats if your axles are new - I think the best thing to do is to get your trailer on level ground and measure it, hitch it up, and see how it looks

The original handbook with our 67 international says 21".
