• Getting the Correct Parts to Tow a Trailer
  If I'm understanding you correctly the answer is yes you can. Your Explorer has a Class III trailer hitch receiver that measures 2 inches on the inside. This means it must have a Class III ball mount that fits into it to tow a trailer, like part # C45030. I've linked all of our ball mounts that'll fit to this page. On the other side the trailer has a coupler that fits onto the hitch ball. With a trailer that small it's probably a 1-7/8 inch ball. It could be a 2 inch or even a 50 millimeter...

• Should Trailer Be Loaded or Unloaded When Measuring For Correct Ball Mount Rise/Drop
  You can measure your trailer's coupler height with the trailer loaded or unloaded. The travel in the trailer's suspension will not have a significant impact on the trailer's coupler height. When measuring the coupler height, the trailer jack will be supporting the trailer and holding it level regardless of the trailer's load. I have attached a help article on measuring for the correct ball mount for you.

• Factors to Consider When Picking Out Length of Ball Mount
  I would say the shorter you can go without any turning clearance issues will be the safest and best option. The length of the ball mount doesn't typically play a huge factor in ride quality or anything but we have longer ball mounts for trailers that are wider at the nose of the trailer to help get a little more clearance for turning. In theory a longer ball mount would put more leverage on the hitch in terms of tongue weight but most of the time it's not something that's really noticed...

• Can the Thule Camber 2 # TH9058 be Used on a 5th Wheel Trailer
  As much as I would love to help you find out a way to use the Thule Camber 2 # TH9058 for your application, it has not been tested and approved for use at the rear of a 5th wheel trailer. Since the trailer hitch on a 5th wheel (or even a travel trailer) sits further back from the rear axle than it does on a vehicle, there is a lot more stress which some bike racks cannot handle. The Roadway is one of them. For your application you can go with the Curt Clamp-On 3 Bike Rack # C18013. It...
