Specs:
Note: This adapter is designed to flat tow a vehicle only. Do not use to tow a trailer. When using with a hitch-mounted accessory, such as a bike rack or cargo carrier, the tongue weight of your hitch will be reduced by at least 50 percent.
Most tow systems require some sort of hitch accessory to either raise or lower the tow bar to an appropriate level. The "Safe Zone" for a motor-home-mounted tow bar ranges from 3" above level to 3" below. Car-mounted models must be absolutely level. This high-low adapter can provide you with the necessary drop or desired rise to achieve a level tow bar setup.

Make up for the height difference between your RV and towed vehicle with this hitch adapter. Provides either a 10-1/4" drop or a 10-1/4" rise. Solid shank provides strength and durability.Great option for a Honda Odyssey, in which the after market hitch receiver is quite low to the ground. Both the rise and length of this adapter allow for a cargo carrier to be raised considerably and also for the hatch to open without obstruction. Just remember to not overload the tongue (meaning no more than 1/2 the tongue weight of the hitch receiver).
etrailer customized the RM-048-10 by lengthening the shaft so that it would fit through the bumper of our Class C RV and be strong enough to support the Stowaway 2 Cargo Carrier. It works beautifully! During travel there is some left to right wiggle that occurs with the carrier. We solved this problem with ratchet straps to secure both sides of the carrier. The hitch is stout and strong, and does the job! Of course we strengthened it with the clamps, so the hitch is solid and unmovable. With the custom hitch, the Stowaway 2 carrier is lifted enough so that it doesn't bottom out when traveling up or down steep hills. etrailer staff are very easy to work with, along with the brilliant engineers who communicated well with the exact details of the design to assure the build worked safely. It is an excellent hitch; worth the value. We're on the road again with all of our lawn chairs/tables, etc. in the cargo carrier out of the elements, instead of inside the RV. Great work, etrailer! Thank you! S&S
The receiver hitch is exactly what I wanted but getting it delivered is another story. They lost the first one to be delivered which I had a week before I needed the hitch no problem. After they lost the first one the second one was suppose to deliver on Wednesday and I was going out of Rouen and needed it before I leave. Welll it didn’t show up till Thursday afternoon and I had to cancel my plans out of town because I bought a truck in Kansas and was flat towing my jeep home. Needless to say you might think about who you have for delivery service they are terrible
This was the perfect height to level my tow bar to my lifted jeep. I recommend using a good quality clamp on the upper and lower receiver to stabilize the hitch assembly.
Mounted on Jeep Grand Cherokee to lower hitch for attachment of wheelchair/scooter carrier. Does the job, and also extends the carrier further rearward, which provides sufficient clearance for the rear hatch to clear the scooter when loaded.
It's a big drop, 10 inches. I needed to get a 35 gal. tank low enough to the ground to drain waste water from my camper and take it to the dump station without always hooking back up to the camper. The waste tank sets on the aluminum platform and is easily transported to where it needs to go. The high-low adapter is rated at 10,000 pounds and more than I need for this application but it's going to be used for other things too.
Extremely well built piece…overbuilt for my application. My use is on an ATV to improve ground clearance when using a Titan Ramps Deer Hoist. As seen in other reviews, my hoist did not go willingly into the Roadmaster adapter due to rounded edges in the Roadmaster. The hoist has a very squared off hitch post. Figured that would happen so no star deduction from me. An angle grinder and some paint (to the hoist hitch post) should fix that issue.
I tow my jeep wrangler with a 2-1/2" lift kit with 33 off road tires, behind with my motorcoach, the 10 1/4" rise sets my tow bar practically level to my off road Bumper. Heavy duty design works great.
Kevin T - 08/07/2021It does what I expected it to do. I use it on front of truck hitch to lower bike rack I use when pulling fifth wheel trailer (back hitch isn't useable).
High quality and paint coating. Raised the bike rack on my minivan enough so rims don't drag sometimes on roadways
Thom - 08/26/2021Great adapter for raising the hitch height to put on an extension bar. A little pricey but it does the job!! Heavy duty and well made.
Required an hi/low hitch receiver of either 6" or 10" drop, was not sure which, & a light weight cargo carrier for traveling. Called etrailer and very heloful, patient and knowledgable CSR Cathy T fixed me up. Arrived on time. No problems.
Great product! Used this to lift ups reciever hitch basket on my Honda Pioneer. Well built and extremely fast shipping. Thank you
I needed a raised hitch for a Polaris Ranger, worked absolutely perfect.
Heavy duty product and shipped the same day I ordered. More than happy with this hitch.
I bought this receiver for use with my bike rack. I have a frame mounted receiver on the back of my travel trailer. Before I used the receiver, the tires from my bicycles would strike the ground going over uneven ground, such as driveways. By flipping the receiver upside down, the 10 inch rise gives me tremendous clearance to prevent the bicycle tires from striking the ground. I now use the receiver for the rear receiver on my 3500 GMC. I have used the receiver over one dozen times and have not had any issues.
The only down side, is the weight of the receiver; but for the quality and strength of the receiver, I can happily live with the extra weight.
I needed this much drop to tow my low Ford Fiesta behind my Winnebago Sightseer. Didn't register how high the hitch was on the Winnebago when I bought it. This adapter fit the bill perfectly, got great service from the folks at etrailer, and have had no problems with the adapter.
You can't go wrong with etrailer.
Ordered my tow bar, a 10" riser, some adapters, locks and anti-rattle brackets. Was notified that the adapters and anti-rattle brackets were on back order. Cancelled those two items and they shipped the rest. Received in two days and everything arrived in good condition. Was able to order the remaining two items elsewhere and still have everything I needed prior to leaving for vacation.
Big thanks to Chedi for working with me and getting everything shipped so fast. Great company, great people and great products. Will definitely order from them again.
Called to ask a question about a trailer hitch riser I wanted. Got my answer and customer service guy placed my order while I was on phone. Part came quickly and was exactly what I needed. etrailer is a great on line retailer and I recommend them highly.
Jimmyj - 10/18/2020Very well built! aligns my hich to the tow bar perfectly
Product was what I wanted and quick shipping! Great price too! Thanks E Trailer!
I have a lifted jeep that I flat tow behind RV, this keeps my tow bar at a better angle with this lifted 10".
Dennis - 10/31/2020It says you can tow 10000lbs or 400 tongue weight
That is not safe because if you have a10000 trailor that tongue will be to much.but for my bike it is find.
I needed this drop bar to level my towed vehicle behind the RV. This piece is extremely well built and levels the tow bar for safe towing.
Alan W - 05/26/2016Drop was too much for my RV. Ended up not using this adapter.
I bought the trailer hitch lower kit, works very good and is solid. Bought the locking pin , easy to use and has held up in great condition. Last, I bought the load stabilizer, simple product but effective, thanks guys for being helpful and having great products
