Will Valley Multipurpose Ball Mount Properly Tow a Trailer and Carry a Thule 964 Revolver

Question:

My question is concerning the Valley Multipurpose Ball Mount V75090. I have a 2003 Ford Winstar with the two package. I need a hitch. Im planning on purchasing a pup-up camper and would like to use a Thule 964 Revolver 4 bike hitch mounted bike rack. The camper that we are looking at is a 1998 Coleman Sun Ridge 2334 weight. Will the multi-purpose ball mount V75090 align the ball at the proper elevation for this vehical and trailer combination? Do I need a hitch extender to permit the rear hatch to open while hitched?

The important thing to remember about this Valley Trailer Hitch Ballmount with 2 Inch Receiver for Bike Racks or Cargo Carriers, part V75090, is that it is a great product but it has to be used correctly. It is critical that you observe and follow the 5000 lb towing and 500 lb tongue weight limit. I do not know how high the coupler of your trailer will be, or at what height your receiver on your Windstar will be when installed, so I cannot say whether your trailer will be level when using this product. I CANNOT recommend using a hitch extender with this product. Doing so could create an unsafe condition that could cause severe injury or death.
