Extending a short bed frame

Several times I've brought up my better idea of stretching my trailer tongue instead of using a long hitch extension. It's undeniably superior, but someone usually brings up engineering and what is and isn't factory designed for what.

The only problem I see with that (because I've thought of doing the same thing) is that the trailer tongue might hit the bottom of the camper if you go through a deep dip, like out of a driveway or something. Other than that, I agree, it would be a better idea.

BTW, I converted my trailer from surge brakes to electric, which involved cutting off the actuator and welding on a new coupler. So, people might want to stay clear when they see me on the road. ;)
