[A/S] 2001 34' Limited



I'm trying to order a Hensley Arrow before I take delivery of the 
trailer.  The Hensley order worksheet 

http://www.hensleymfg.com/Documents/customerworksheet.pdf

asks some questions about the trailer that I can't answer without 
having the trailer here on level ground.  It's now on a sloped gravel 
lot at the dealership.  I'm hoping someone here who has a late model 
34' has taken the required measurement on paved level ground.

Question 11 asks about the number of inches to the top of the trailer 
coupler (I assume they mean the inside, i.e. the top of the ball) 
when the trailer is level.  Airstream specs say this is 18-3/4".  Has 
anyone measured this, and what did you find?

Question 12 asks what type coupler the trailer has.  From the 
pictures I've taken, it looks to me to be Hensley's "Type A".  Can 
anyone with a late-model 34' confirm this?

Finally, I'm a bit concerned about some (actually quite a few) 
states' max length of 60'.  Will the longer Hensley hitch and tongue 
of the 34' (actually 34'10" according to A/S) put the rig over 60' 
with a 21' truck (F250SD SuperCab/Long Bed)?

Thanks,
