Neat little trick conversion

[Navyvette]

I am moving and instead of paying to have my RV moved this time I decided to pull it and I rented a U-Haul to pull my 20’ cargo trailer. The only problem I had was my trailer is setup with a 2 5/16” coupler and the U-Haul has a welded 2” ball rated for 10k. My trailer is lighter than this and even though the U-Haul has a 2” channel to put an offset hitch in I really didn’t want to spend a ton of money on an entire hitch just for the one trip.
So how to use a 2” ball with a 2 5/16” coupler? I found this, I didn’t even know these existed but super cheap and as long as I’m not exceeding the rating of the 2” ball.

Neat little piece to have in the tool box

Yea it’s pretty much a one time use to get me home and just something to have in the tool box for emergencies as I wouldn’t use this as a permanent solution either.
Good idea on the grease as you can’t have too much of that. .

maybe for a short haul. but its not for me.

but great in ss. BUT is the metal HARDENED? or just "stock" metal?
lower grade metals will deform, crack. and you can lose the trailer easily.

so if you must "adapt" use with caution.

I've never seen one of these before, pretty slick. My only suggestion would be to pack it full of grease, inside and outside. Other than this, I see no reason why this wouldn't work.

Good luck!
