Greetings all, I have a Fastway e2 weight distribution hitch (non-round bar type). Was originally setup for a Honda Pilot about a year ago. We got a new vehicle and when connected the tongue is ...

240V, good luck getting a hitch ball loosened up in a campground with basic tools. Unless it happens to be fairly new and somehow easier than 90% of them.
But before you start figuring out how to get the leverage to do so, make sure flipping the ball won’t make it way too low.
This isn’t one of these things we can solve with words on the internet for you, but I can visualize the difference in height pretty easy and there’s a good chance a hitch flip could just put it nose down instead. (Which to be fair is better than up, but if your trailer has tandem torsion axles, up or down much at all from level is a recipe for overloaded axles and blown tries. If leaf springs it is much more tolerant to out of level.)
