The first dip you go through the trailer hitch will contact the camper, I'm in the extended truck hitch camp.
Besides, you extend the hitch once instead of extending each trailer you want to use.
Not!
One of the reasons I ended up with a Bigfoot is precisely what the OP stated - the camper extends back from the truck but it DOES NOT drop down at all - never drops below the level of the top of the truck bed. That would have to be one heck of a dip for the camper and trailer tongue to meet!
Instead of building an extension on my trailer tongue I had a custom trailer built with extended tongue and it works beautifully. I take the combo into some pretty rough country and have yet to have a problem with the extended tongue contacting the camper.
