Question:
I am looking at the C17062 to put on a V-Nose enclosed trailer. I see the dimensions to the center of the chain, but wanted to confirm the fit with you. From the center of the coupler to the trailer is 32 which I think is enough clearance, but cutting it close.

Hey John! The # C17062 is to close to really know with only 32" from the coupler to the trailer body. The bars sit approximately 30" back (they measure 30-5/8") and that bracket is 4" wide so it would be another 2".
I'm assuming your 32" measurement is on the inside (which would be the short side) meaning you have a little more space available on the outside. Is that correct? What you can do is use the Chain Hangers for Curt Weight Distribution Systems # C17005. These bolt onto the outside of the frame which should give you the extra bit of clearance needed to install the WDH.
