Hello! Back again for assistance with my setup. With the camper on the truck, I'm 29" exactly from the center of the pin on the hitch to the door of the camper. The question is: what is the best way t...

wnjj- thank you for the response. The actual TW is probably over the manufacture rating. It's a 12' trailer w/ a 12' utv so it's snug. I used to bring it up the ramps in reverse (where it weighs the most) and towed great and straight both in my F150 & F250 ( it barely lowers the suspension on my F-150). To make this all work I'm going to be driving it forward to lower tongue weight
UTV has a dryweight of 1,670 LBS (based on rumors 600-700 lbs in front and 900 lbs in rear). I just assume I'm close to the trailer gross. BTW: 12' trailers to haul around RZRs are pretty common. Ultimately decided I would take the risk with a single axle. I do have sensors on wheels for PSI and blowout monitoring.
I didn't think about extending the front of the trailer. Not bad. I'm concerned about altering the trailer though and at that possible price point, maybe I should just buy the 2.5" hitch and the Reese 6K lbs/ 600 TW 24" extension so that I can more safely meet the ratings.
