need a tow hitch
Okay I just purchased a tow dolly so I can take my car along. The question is does anyone know how do you determine the drop from the hitch ?

So you have a 2" receiver on your motorhome? How high is that from the ground when parked on level ground?
I think that you will want the ball to be close to 18" off the ground. So if your receiver is 18" above the ground, then a straight hitch will work fine. If it is at 22" above the ground, then a 4" drop. If only 16" - then a straight hitch will still work fine.
You can pick them up at many Wal Marts, your local hardware store, and many other places. If you have a exceptionally high hitch, such as 24" or 28" above ground level, you can buy a receiver with up to 10" or 12" of drop. That you probably have to order from ETrailer.com
I put a hitch on my Windstar van when I was towing it so that I could move the tow dolly around, and to go and purchase the dolly and bring it home, without towing it with the RV.
Good luck!
