Hitch / receiver extension question
The 2000 Lance 1130 TC we just purchased came with a 4' (approx.) extension for towing a trailer, which I was excited to get. I know in the future I would like to tow a trailer for various purpose...

Here is another vote for The Reese Titan V. I use a 20 inch extension when I have pulled my 7000 pound car trailer (with Jeep and spare parts) even over rough ground. Once, during a move of my son and family, we had that trailer WAY overloaded and drove 150 miles on the interstate to get to the new digs. The camper was on the truck at the time and it was loaded to the gills with the family's wardrobe, spread in a neat pile on the queen bed. And then all the house plants worked our way to the back door. It was a white knuckle ride on a hot day expecting some overloaded tire to blow at any moment. Here is the extension with a small trailer with a pintel. The face of the hitch just clears the back of the camper:
and this one with a poor shot of the 20 inch hitch extension but one of the load:
