How long is too long to be extended
We boondock for the majority of our trips. Get into some tricky areas where we have to keep the trailer from hitting the back of the rv. Didn't have a choice when I got the trailer otherwise i would...

The issue with an extended ball, is you still have 3.5' from ball to trails front. If you extend it say a foot, you now have 4.5'.
A little bit of additional hitch weight. A trailer that tows easier, as like a truck with a longer WB, longer distance from ball to axles is smoother.
As far as an accident...ANY modification, changing brands tread pattern of tires could cause an insurance issue per say! Not that the tire issue will. I had a local trailer manufacture adjust the hitch after having issues noted above.
Add length to.hitch in your circumstance. Their are times, additional length in the ball mount is best too!
