Why not do the simple and most effective thing? Lengthen your trailer tongue!
That puts less stress on your extended hitch, tows better, backs up easier, and costs less than a superhitch. If you don’t have a welder and none of your buddies are decent welders just go to your local welding shop.
It’s easy.
In fact, you probably don’t need a hitch extension at all.
I pull a 10,000 trailer behind my 11.5 foot camper with NO hitch extension.
That’s one less tedious thing (putting on the hitch extension) I have to do every time I load and unload the camper, too. And zero reduced capacity.
No, the trailer does not hit the camper, as long as you don’t go extreme places. On the roads between the Pacific Northwest and Black Rock Desert, Nevada in almost 20 years this has worked great.
