Today we're going to take a look at the Roadmaster dual hitch receiver adapter with a 10-inch drop or a 10-inch rise. Now when you're flat towing a vehicle with a motor home, you need that tow bar to be in the safe zone, and the safe zone is when the tow bar cannot be more than three inches above or below level, and the primary purpose of this hitch receiver adapter is to bring that tow bar level or into the safe zone. This adapted has a 10-inch drop, or if you flip it over, a 10-inch rise, and it'll allow you to put that tow bar in that safe zone position.This will also allow you to use a hitch mounted bike rack or cargo carrier while flat towing your vehicle. This is constructed of a sturdy steel. The shank on it, this portion right here, is a solid steel shank. The whole hitch adapter itself is constructed of sturdy steel.
Does resist rust and corrosion. Has a nice durable black powder coat finish on it. Now when you do install this into your motor home, it does require 5/8-inch diameter and pin or hitch lock to secure this into the hitch receiver opening. Although both those items we do sell separately on our website.A few specs on this. It's designed to fit into a two inch by two inch trailer hitch opening.
The dual receivers right up here are also two inches by two inches. Gross towing weight capacity on this is 10,000 pounds. Tongue weight capacity is 400 pounds. The drop or the rise is 10 inches and where we measure that is here it is in the drop position. So that's going to be measured from the top of the shank here to the top of the receiver down here.
So if we put a ruler on it, there we go, you can see there's your 10-inch drop. And if we flip this over and put it into the rise position which would be this way, then it's going to be measured from the top of the shank here to the top of the receiver right up here. Whoops. Let's do it this way. There you go.
There's your 10-inch rise.Now the solid shank portion overall length. Let's get the tape measurer up. It's going to be 13 inches. Now the hitch pin to hitch pin hole center to center measurement if we measure from this hitch pin hole to this hitch pin hole is going to be right at 10 inches. And from this hitch pin hole up here to that hitch pin hole, that ones going to be right at 11 inches center to center.One last note on this part, it is designed for flat towing only. So you do not want to use this to tow a trailer or a tow dolly. But that should do it for the review on the Roadmaster dual hitch receiver adapter with a 10-inch drop or a 10-inch rise.

Add a bike carrier or cargo carrier with this dual hitch receiver.Great product. I was able reposition our bikes in conjunction with our tow bar easily. 846120
Excellent hitch adapter. Amazingly strong and well built. We've towed our car around 10,000 miles with it so far and zero issues. We ordered the 10" drop hitch and should have gotten the 6" drop hitch, but that's on me. Maybe go a couple of inches less than you think to avoid scraping on inclines. Would buy again, no problem. 801722
product was received in excellent condition. Well packed with no scratches. Delivered very promptly. Great service. Will consider etrailer for any future needs. 746902
Works perfect. Glad we were able to get the right ride height for our tow 736689
This hitch adapter is exactly what I needed and am thankful to have found it. I pull a Mini behind a motor home and like to carry a couple bikes on a bike rack. That left me with a need for two hitch adapters and a drop hitch to match the low height of the Mini with the high hitch on the RV. This adapter provides the perfect solution and provides plenty of room for both applications. Anyone with similar needs, this is your solution! 720997
Great product. Solidly built. I use it to raise a cargo carrier to clear my dingy while towing behind my motor home. Thank you again 697501
Perfect fit and incredibly strong. Like the top receiver for bike rack, etc. 672581
This drop receiver allows us to carry bikes or scooter carrier when our "towd" is hooked up with our tow bar. 664552
Well built product and did what I needed it to do. The rise part of the receiver to install a bicycle rack to keep it above my tow vehicle a lifted Jeep Wrangler. The only negative is the receiver tube on the bottom now drops the hitch basically 2 1/2 inches lower and I now drag the receiver on the ground on driveway / street dips. Would have been better if none rise came straight out. I don’t think I would drag then I should have done more measurements 656727
