Best option to extend the hitch under my camper?

I'm finally ready to spend the money it will take to extend the hitch under the extended back of my Camper.


I know my local Eckhart shop wants $1000.00 dollars to build me a removable 10K lb. rated set up for under my set up.
I do think that includes the trailer control & everything else involved.

Do I really need to spend that much?
That being asked, Yes, I do see wanting to be able to pull that sort of weight.

Looking for options?

Thanks in advance.

    OK was there any plus or minus from it from what you say & what did you pay?
    That just mounts the the factory hitch mount right?
    Eckhart tries to tell me how those are bad & always crack & showed me how mine already has a minor crack in it..

    Just makes me wonder would I have to replace that as well & then what will it cost vs trashing it all & going with eckhart?


    EDIT:
    I'm looking at their site right now & will call them on monday.
