A 20 foot car hauler with a gvw of 7,000 pounds will weigh about 2,200 lbs. empty, with payload of about 4,800 lbs.. Might be touch and go for the Jeep and Harleys weight wise. Might have to get a 10k gvw 20 foot equipment trailer instead. In either case, it seems a lot of weight to put on an extension from your receiver. Make sure the extension can handle the weight of everything back there. Better safe than sorry.
Good call on the trailer I didn't think of that. I need to go get jeep weighted. Stock is 3800 pounds, but I am far from stock. I need to research the extensions better and see what I am dealing with. It almost seems easier to trade in her car and get a 1/2 ton for her and have her pull the jeep and we keep the big 5er. Don't think she will go for that for 2200 miles one way though.
