Does your coach ride nose high? I ended up lowering my hitch one bolt hole lower than what was originally set up. It still is a bit nose high, but rides much more smoothly now.

If you do not have the pre-wired setup, then you would probably want to mount it in a central location in the rig. Ceiling works fine.
