Hitch Extender for 10,000 lb Travel Trailer Compatibility
Question:
can you share the pricing and photos of the weight distributon system you are recommending to tow the trailer?

Expert Reply:
I wish you would have asked this question prior to your purchase of the Curt Extender # C45791, because this extender will not work for your application. It is rated for the 3,500 lb total trailer weight towing capacity and because it is an adapter will also decrease your tongue weight rating of your trailer hitch by 50%.
Instead, you may want to consider the Brophy Ball Mount for 2" Hitch # BH20. This ball mount is capable of towing 10,000 lbs and has a measurement of 13-1/4 inches from the center of hitch pin hole to the center of the hitch ball hole. Then you can use a hitch ball like # 19286 for a 2-5/16 inch diameter ball.

I may not have been clear. What I need is a 2 1/2" to 2" reducer that is at least 8" long and will serve as an extension to my existing travel trailer hitch. (and will need a 10k lb rating) Do you sell those?
