What's the purpose of this for a truck camper?

In further looking at it this morning,it appears he also welded two rings on each end of the hitch for the chains and turnbuckles to anchor the hitch extension so he must have made his version of the super hitch extension or put the super hitch extension on a Reese hitch.

I have never been around beefed up hitch extensions and had know idea what the stack receivers were for.Makes sense now..Thank you!

Now that's just plum cool! :C

Either two different height trailers, or, the truck camper steps, etc. blocked the upper receiver hitch.

The reason for the double stacked receivers

two receivers reduces movement of a extended hitch bar, used due to truck camper hang over of the end of the bed/bumper assy.

I have this. Receiver for superhitch extension. Truck camper hangs over end of truck 3ft, I have a 4ft extension that goes in these holes so I can tow our boat behind TC. 2 tubes on it-extremely heavy.

I could see the bike rack or other purpose if the actual hitch was above the frame mounted but the bottom receiver is just welded to the top receiver which is connected to the frame.It would appear for very light duty purposes or to maybe beef up an extension hitch which most are very anemic in capacity.They say(e-trailer) a standard hitch extension is reduced to 50% of the original hitch,if that is true.

Would the hitch extension welded to a bottom 2" tube increase the capacity/stability of the upper extension?

That is what the receiver for our Torklift Supertruss extension looks like.

The dual receiver system allows for added strength and use of a high capacity receiver hitch extension if needed along with the allowance of accessories to be inserted into the top receiver.

Found elsewhere: "Dual, vertically stacked receivers let you tow a trailer and use a hitch-mounted bike rack or cargo carrier at the same time."
