My wife and I purchased a travel trailer a year ago. The tailgate of my truck was too close to the trailer to allow it to open. I purchased the extension from you to eliminate that problem. I purchased this one because it is 2" solid and had a 10k rating.

After 1 year, the outer lip has failed from having a anti-rattle device on it,the lip cracked in half and the welds broke

The extender was exactly what I needed and as always purchasing it from etrailer was a great experience. They have many options and by far the best customer service in the industry.

Excellent hitch extender, very well built, arrived quickly.

Super solid! Locks in tight. It’s a bit Heavyweight for the rack I bought it for to stabilize, but does EXACTLY What I need. This thing could handle a serious load.

The hitch does exactly what I need. The only knock on it I have is that the threads on the anti rattle bolt are rough where the hole was made for the pin to go through. The bolt is harder than the shaft of the hitch and partially stripped the threads in the hitch.
by: Dan09/26/2022
I had to file the hitch pin hole to be able to insert the pin to secure ball hitch to the hitch extender.

Quality merchandise delivered promptly. It couldn't be better
by: Glenn05/30/2020
Bought this extension for use on my front Curt receiver hitch on my 2010 Ford Raptor (hitch is under the bumper). I looked at a few extensions in person before settling on this one. I figured if I really needed to use it with my winch, I didn't want to skimp on the extension. Recently I did have to use my winch and am glad I bought this unit. This extension is extremely heavy duty and worth the money if you need a heavy duty extension.
by: Kelly G09/05/2018
The product is exactly as advertised; high quality and well constructed. More importantly was etrailer's service. My order was lost during delivery by the delivery service and etrailer shipped a replacement right away. I have purchased from etrailer in the past and they always follow up and thank you for your business. That means a lot. Thank you etrailer for your good customer service.

I flat tow my Wranglar behind my Coachman Freelander. This extension hitch works perfect to extend the Motorhome hitch out from under the bumper. I’ve used it many times. Thanks etrailer.
by: George W02/01/2018
I have a 60" x 20" x 20" cargo basket carrier that I'm intending on using on my Class B+ Motor Home. With the 2" hitch on the coach is slightly recessed, this makes the basket carrier is too close that I'm unable to open it up. This extender will be the fix.
Impressed with the construction of this. The half that slides into existing 2" hitch is solid square stock (not tube steel)... Heavy Duty!
Was also very pleased with etrailers customer service / shipping. They upgraded me from standard to 2 day priority.
Thanks etrailer (and George D)

George,Thank you for your review.Just a reminder that hitch extenders such as part #RM-071-1075 do cut your tongue weight capacity by 50. That is including the weight of the carrier itself. I have attached a link for information on extenders and adapters.

This receiver extension is perfect for my need. Recently purchased new E-Bikes and new bike rack. My installation excitement fell when the rack contacted the spare tire of our Jeep while raising to folded position and couldn't latch.
Found the right size and placed the order. "George" responded quickly to say the order was shipping that day! Then it was delivered one full day earlier than promised.
Extremely happy with the fit and quality and the Anti Rattle pin is great.
Thank you,

Thanks for the reply Mark C. I did want to let you know that using hitch extenders like this one will reduce the hitchs overall capacity by 50 percent. This is something to keep in mind especially considering your new e-bike. Please make sure that the hitch, bike rack and all other components are not exceeding the reduced tongue weight when using the hitch extender.

Towed a Jeep with a motorhome round trip coast to coast. Everything Roadmaster worked perfectly. I have total confidence in the products.
by: Joe 05/17/2023
On time. As described.
by: KC01/27/2019
Pros:
Works great for side-to-side stabilization. If you want more security the hole in the bolt is large enough to put a small lock thru.
For up/down stabilization I added the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch and now all directions are very stable.
Cons:
Corner fillets in the receiver section are larger than other extenders or receivers so it may be a tighter fit than you are expecting.
by: Chad06/27/2018
Really heavy duty. The anti rattle portion fits and secures it tightly. Using it to extend a front hitch receiver on my 2013 F150 to hold my Warn multi-mount winch.

Be aware that using a hitch extender will lower the vertical load and line pull capacity by half.
by: Deborah 09/01/2021
Perfect for us to extend from a very far back hitch on our LTV. This was very sturdy and allowed us to use our Swagman bike rack. The customer service was awesome. We didn’t know we were going to need before a very big trip and etrailer rushed it to us. Can’t say enough about their staff. Very pleased.
by: David 03/23/2023
Installed, tight, no issues. Does what we needed.
by: Jim N.08/11/2017
We recently purchased a Road Master Spare Tire Carrier for our motorhome and found that it was just a couple inches too close to the rear hatch to allow us to open it to check fluids. Fount this item online and searched for a good deal with speedy delivery. eTrailer came through for us. Installation was very easy just as long as you have the right size tools. The item itself is very well made and matches the rest of the Road Master products. If you are looking to extend a hitch, you need to make sure your extension is as strong as the main hitch, you do not want to reduce your load capacity by using an under-sized extension. I can recommend both eTrailer and Road Master for this product without reservations.
by: MoreyNJ06/07/2019
etrailer had just what I needed. I recently purchased a bike rack for our new electric bikes, but discovered that the handlebar on the "inner" bike hits the back side of our motorhome. I was looking for a non rattle hitch extension, and found it at etrailer.
This is one serious piece of steel!

- Can Roadmaster Hitch Extender be Used for Towing a Trailer or Bike RacksYou can use hitch extender # RM-071-1075 for things other than flat towing a vehicle. It will fit any 2 inch trailer hitch receiver. However, the tongue weight capacity of the trailer hitch will be reduced by 50 percent when using an extender. Provided the weight of the items used in the extender are under the reduced tongue weight capacity of the hitch you will be good to go.

The tongue weight is the downward force that the trailer exerts on the hitch. If you are looking for the gross trailer tow weight of the extender, that is 10,000 pounds. The gross towing weight is the amount of weight that pulls horizontally on the extender. This extender is your best choice because any extender we carry that is longer than 7-3/4 inches greatly...

Since the carrier and the extender both come with anti-rattle/movement devices you wouldn't have to worry about sway like you mentioned either.
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch Extender for Towing with a 2008 Range RoverSince hitch extenders like the 11" Roadmaster # RM-071 you show in your pictures reduces the weight rating of the hitch by 50% we typically recommend avoiding them as a solution. For your application we have ball mounts with extended shanks that don't reduce the weight capacity of your hitch and that's what I recommend going with. For a long ball mount we have the Brophy Ball Mount # BM20 which has a 3/4" rise/2" drop and measures 13-1/4" from the center of the hitch pin hole to center...

- Recommendation to Gain Clearance for Tailgate with Weight Distribution System InstalledUsing a hitch extender like you mentioned will give you the needed clearance but it will also reduce the weight capacity of your trailer hitch by 50 percent. This is because of the extra play/movement and instability that adding another component causes. This along with their lower base ratings to begin with (as you mentioned) means that your best option is to just use a longer adjustable shank for your weight distribution system. The longest adjustable shank we have available is the Curt...

- Will the Yakima RidegBack Bike Rack Clear The Spare Tire on My 2021 Jeep Wrangler? The Yakima RidgeBack Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # Y02457 does not have any horizontal adjustment, however this bike rack does have a tilting feature when the bikes are unloaded which can allow for full rear-cargo access. Since you have a spare tire on the rear of your vehicle, I recommend using a hitch extender Roadmaster Anti-Rattle Hitch Extender for Tow Bars # RM-071-1075. This will push the receiver of your hitch on your 2021 Jeep Wrangler 7-3/4" to allow for more room for your spare tire.

For this, you are going to want to use a ball mount with an extended shank. We have a few options for this but will be dependent on the amount of rise/drop you need to keep the trailer level. I have attached a help article that will explain this. If it turns out that you need either a 3/4" rise or 2" drop then I recommend...

I totally get the reasoning and would also want to keep them separated. As another option you can use the Curt Multi-Ball Adjustable Ball Mount for 2" Trailer Hitches part # D900. It measures 15 3/4" from the pin hole to the center of the ball. This will be longer than your Weigh Safe but you'll have to measure yours to see how much. Usually though they are 9 3/4" at max so you...
view full answer... - Can Extension be Used on Tow Bar When Flat TowingYes, you can use an extension with your tow bar, and it will improve your turning radius. That said, there isn't a 12 inch extension, the longest is 7-3/4 inches: - Roadmaster Anti-Rattle Hitch Extender for Tow Bars # RM-071-1075 Also keep in mind an extender such as this reduces the overall capacity of your hitch by 50 percent.

view full answer... - Is There a Way to Increase Distance Between Hitch and Trailer for Tailgate ClearanceSince hitch extenders cut the capacity of the hitch they are installed in by 50 percent a better solution would be a longer ball mount like the # EA40 which is 14-5/8 inches from pin hole to ball hole and would most likely give you the extra clearance you'd need to be able to lower your tailgate when towing and not hit the trailer jack.

With this addition, you will reduce the maximum tongue weight of your hitch receiver by 50%.

view full answer... - Longer Adjustable Ball Mount Recommendation for Better Jack/Tailgate ClearanceThe issue with hitch extenders is that they end up cutting the capacity of the hitch they are installed in by 50 percent due to the extra length and movement in the hitch. So with that in mind there isn't a hitch extender we can offer that will give you the length you need and not cause issues with weight capacity. Plus none of them have the weight capacity you need either. Best option is a longer adjustable ball mount to get you the length you need like with the Curt Multi Ball Mount...

Since clearance seems to be a and you're only transporting one bike, I recommend adding a hitch extender like the: -Roadmaster Anti-Rattle Hitch Extender for Tow Bars # RM-071-1075.

You'd just need to use the lock in place of the cotter pin. The diameter of the shackle of this is 3/32 inch which would fit easily in the hole on the bolt.

It is intended for use with tow bars like their Falcon All Terrain Tow Bar # RM-522. It sounds like you might need an extra-long 2-inch ball mount. We do offer these and they are shown on the linked page. An example is the 13-1/4 inch long Brophy Ball Mount # BM20.

It is approximately 2-5/8 inches, and is threaded, meaning it is specifically for Extender # RM-071-1075. Since you mentioned your Roadmaster extender did not come...

This threaded hitch bolt does indeed reduce noise and movement inside the hitch receiver, providing a more secure and quiet connection. However, there is not a locking hitch pin available that is compatible with the threaded hitch pin hole on this extender. A thief would need to have the correct wrench to remove it. If you are looking to lock the extender to your hitch receiver, I instead recommend...

When flat towing a vehicle behind an motorhome there is less tongue weight on the hitch than when you are towing a trailer. That's why the Roadmaster hitch extender has a low tongue weight rating and should not be used in trailer applications. I recommend using a ball mount with a longer shank, like the...

This will give you all 3 of the hitch ball sizes and also give you the pintle hook option. For the mounting plate and shank to have the clearance for the spare tire and the rise you need, I recommend the B&W Pintle Hook Mounting Plate for 2" Hitches - 15" Shank - 14 Hole - 16,000 lbs # BWPMHD14005.
