Need drop receiver and receiver extension

Sounds like whoever set it up didn't research ahead of time but I guess you know that now. I had the opposite problem, needed a drophitch on the MH but now it drags easily.

I agree. It is best to purchase through one of the companies that make offset receivers. Hopefully the O.P. will find what he needs through one of them rather than adding a 3rd piece to clear his rear bumper. Three pieces is ripe for a lot of other kind of trouble. If his rear bumper is a cheap decorative thing as many RV bumpers are, maybe he could modify it to accommodate the offset. Maybe go as far as cutting the bumper and support it on each side of the hitch, making it 2 half bumpers.

I wonder if all else fails him, if he could buy an extension, attach it to an offset hitch via bolting the two together instead of using a pin. Also eliminate any play between the two by forcing thin sheet metal in the gaps. Then the two pieces might act like one.

Still, the best is one piece. I hope he finds it.

I have done a lot of welding either fabricating or repairing for myself and others on the farm. But there is no way I would do any welding on a hitch or tow bar. If the weld is too hot or not hot enough it won't be a good weld and the weld can break and the heat can weaken the pieces you are welding together to where they could bend or break. I have seen some really pretty welds fail.
Any welding on hitches should only be done my a professional certified welder.

I take it your DEMCO tow bar is Coach-Mounted? Or is it Jeep-Mounted? You have a little more flexibility buying "A-Dapter" parts for Jeep-Mounted.

I like Ron's idea of a custom part. You might be able to also add provision for say a bike rack or a spare tire mount.

BlueOx welding remark: There's welding and there's WELDING. Many of us "can weld" but not well enough for heavy duty or air tight use. I used to have access to a welder I could trust my life with.

If you go to fabricate your own A-Dapter, remember there are different wall thicknesses in this square tubing. Use the beefier one.

Search the internet including Ebay. Though you might not find the exact drop receiver with extra extension, you'll be able to ask the various suppliers if they offer unadvertised extended ones or can make what you need. There are many people out there you can contact.

Our 2006 Jeep Liberty required a drop receiver. I quickly learned that my safety cables were too short and so I had to buy a new pair one foot longer. I recommend using two Quiet Hitch's as shown to eliminate the cumulative play with two hitch pin connections.

Here is our setup using a Roadmaster Falcon2 tow bar system, including an offset hitch extension.


I started out with this setup using NO offset receiver during our first trip towing the Jeep. It was a disaster. You MUST have a level tow bar.
