Is there a problem with your safety chains attaching to the tow bar. The receiver is too far in and had to add an extension to the tow bar to work and in order to not have to crawl under the motorhom...
As others have said the chains should go from frame mounted base plate to frame mounted hitch. Both should have required attachment points. The tow bar should not be in the picture. I have a 4 inch drop hitch which increase my chain length requirement by almost a foot over standard chains. I installed 18 inch safety chains to both sides of the motorhome hitch. The standard chains connect to them.
