I'm trying to plan ahead for when I buy a cab over camper. I've seen some of the trucks out there with a special extended hitch that extends under their campers. I'm talking about the large slide in campers that hang about 2 or 3 feet beyond the back bumper. Any pics or discriptions would be extremely helpful.
hehehe Ya I researched this one quite a bit. Sence you want to get a BIG camper 11.5 or 12footer you realy only have two choices for heavy towing & you better have a DRW towrig... http://www.torklift.com/p.php?w_page=superhitch The Super Hitch has better numbers but # 2 is Reese TowBeast (formaly know as The Titian). Check the link above..they have a comparison chart on the two. Have Fun Burt
Of course I have a DRW rig. I asked Jason P. what I should get. My tow rig is my avatar. I bought the Reese 2.5", 14000lb hitch bar. I actually bought it thinking that it was a regular 2", 10000lb. When I realized what it was, I just figured that I would go ahead and start buying all of the parts I need since I'm heading in that direction anyway. I still need the adjustable ball mount and figure out what hitch to buy. Do the Reece and the Super Hitch mount the same?
Duno? I have a Reese 2.5" calss V too. My camper is only 9.5' so I only needed about 6-8" of extension to make sure my trailer does not hit the camper on tight turns or backing up. So I ended up using one of these: With one of thease: Thease are the BIG 1 1/4" shank mounts. The main reason I used thease parts to extend my hitch was simply cuz I bought them in a kit: The Resse Straight Line 1200 Back when I was budjeting my towing equipment I thought I would need a WD setup. My 10K trailer's performance has been great and I have not added the WD setup to my trailer yet as I don't think I will need it. But the extra long SOLID shank along with the ball mount 'head' put my hitch's ball right out to the edge of my truck camper..perfect!
