Fitting a headache rack behind a 379

If that’s a 63 inch sleeper you don’t got 260 inch wheel base

 

I think most vans are 36 inch pin

 

How did you measure your wheelbase?

 

Cheapest option is going to be to address the issue with your 5th wheel. If it were me I’d just get a new one that’s mounted on a 36” slider and that would give you plenty of room.

 

If you need a new bunk anyways l would look for a 54" stand up like yours. Thyre kind of rare but would give you extra room behind the bunk and still let you stand up in the sleeper etc. I love the looks of a flattop bunk but for otr work l would have the stand up anytime.

 

Just move your fifth wheel slider back. Cheap and easy. I haven’t moved my fifth wheel in months but I also have a set back front axle.

 

Slide your fifth wheel slider back you'll have plenty of room for a rack

 

I drive a 244" short hood 379 with 63" flat top and have a mile of room between trailer and rack.



And my fifth wheel is a few notches away from the front. You should easily be able to pull most deck trailers, especially steps. Just don't try to do B-trains, lol.
