2706WS coupler height

I have a 2706WS being shipped to me in Alaska and want to get my weight distribution hitch before it gets here. Can someone with a 2706 measure the height from the ground to the bottom of the coupler with the camper level? I’m leaning towards the Anderson hitch and need this measurement to order the right one up.
Thank you.

I have a 2022 2706WS and the coupler height is 16”.
We love ours. Lots of room.
I went with a ProPride 3P hitch. Pricey, but worth it.
Good luck and happy camping!

Welcome to the forum its a great place to get your questions answered. Normally when setting up a WDH you measure to the top of the coupler and set your ball height at 2 inches above that. If molf21 measure to the bottom with a 16" reading the top would be around 18" JMHO

I didn’t notice that he said bottom. 16” is to top.

Thank you for the info. Anderson has a video and it says to the bottom but I will double check that. 16” seems low. I asked the dealer and he told me 24” but he answered so quick I don’t believe he really measured.

It may be 24 to the bottom of the floor but the top of the coupler is 16” on mine.
Had to be level and take measurements at both ends and the coupler to install the Propride.

I have to clean some egg off of my face as I was reminded that my measurements included some subtraction to get the height for the PP coupler. So, the actual coupler height for my TT is 21 1/2”.
