dumb hitch ball question

Can we move our 2500rl Imagine TT safely within a storage facility using the hitch I use for my 22' boat?

I think the boat ball is 2" and the TT E2 hitch is 2 5/16.

Got a medical thing going on and just don't want to handle the E2 unless needed.

WE will be moving about 200 yards on pretty flat land.

Thanks

    MFL has the best suggestion. Put a heavy shop rag on the ball. With adequate tongues weight you will be good to go for short distances. Be sure to use safety chains and breakaway cable just in case.

    I think it would be safe at low speed on flat ground, for that short distance. A simple trick some use, is to put a heavy rag over the 2" ball to fill the gap, when clamping the hitch to smaller ball.

    ETrailer says “no” and so do I.

    As long as it's a 2" ball mount rated for at least 5k pounds, you can probably move it around the yard with that no matter how heavy your beast trailer is.
