Using your picture you linked to is a good example. I keep thinking the height along the sides should be a parallel line equal to the centerline of the front and rear axles. Given the wheelbase, I'd think even another 4 or five inches would be much better than the height of the unit in the photo.
The rear overhang from the rear axle is also a good point. In affect, you have the distance from the rear axle center line to the centerline of the forward-most axle on the trailer behind. I find I end up hitting the bottom of the drawbar on my hitch. I also rub the base of the rear of my trailer in some driveways (but it has wide steel rollers to protect the rear of the trailer frame.
Do any of you out there with motorhome truck conversions have the rollers installed on the rear of your truck? Obviously Toterhomes don't need them ...
