Still trying to connect Toad
Receiver on coach is @ 26", Connector pins on Toad @ 16". Am being told I need an 8" drop down receiver. Is it safe to use? Seems like a lot of pressure is going to be on those welds, especially in ...

One thing as you noted the torque load on the receiver will be GREAT. so the question is how much is the hitch rated for... Figure with an 8" drop.. half that at the most.. I'm did not get far enough along in my Engineering studies to say more.
I towed a 4,000 pound with a 4" drop and tore the 5,000 pound hitch right off the rig.. The weld shop that re-bulit it re BUILT!!!!! it.. I have had no problems since.
