Oh yeah, towing. My rig was generally tall enough that I could actually use a really short wxtenaion in most cases. I used about a 20" or so for a long time and the actual ball sat underneath the camper. In the end I had a welder build what I would call a frame extension as it integrates in the Reese hitch but is the same width as the frame, is removable if necessary via a bunch of giant bolts. What that means is I use a short extension of maybe 14" but it is an over-under sort of thing where the upper tube is about 14" above the lower one so I can mount two Mtn Bikes or my dirt bike a over, and still flat tow our Jeep.
Another oddity is that the guy that set my rig up, actually cut off the very end of the frame and chopped off nearly a foot off the flatbed. He did that to keep the camper as far forward as possible. The frame actually extends out further than the flatbed deck does. Not sure if I would have done things exactly like he did but it worked. I might have chopped the deck, but would not likely have chopped the frame. Hell, I extended the frame for the towing for that matter!
I posted some pics of my new hitch setup a couple of years ago but it was on someone else's thread so it might be hard to find and there were also some original pictures from before I made those changes.
