Towing behind a larger camper hitch question
I have a Lance 1172 on order, I believe it has a 42 inch over hang on the rear. If I want to tow a motorcycle trailer with a 600lb bike on it, what are my options? Do I have to replace the factory...

You're talking a very low tongue weight, only a small trailer hauling a motorcycle. The Torklift hitch and Supertruss is a very good and strong hitch extension system, but not likely needed for this application. It is certainly recommended and very well worth the money, if you intend to go heavier in the future.
I would use a Reese or Curt single tube extension in the stock hitch, if the stock hitch is a 2-1/2" class 4 or 5. If it's a class 3, you may want to upgrade it. Stock class 3's often have alot of flex when used with a long extension bar.
If upgrading the hitch, the Curt Magnum and Reese Titan are very good single receiver hitches for use with extension bars and light to moderate tongue weights.
The Torklift hitch and Supertruss are the ultimate solution for heavy towing when a long extension length is needed.
