Roadmaster Anti-Rattle Hitch Extender for Tow Bars - 2" Hitches - 7-3/4" Extension
Works well on my side by side to get the ball to a usable reach. The threaded pin makes it difficult to take on and off (can't use a non threaded in). I have to lay on the ground to do this. It does not rattle that is for sure so in an application where that is important, and where you have normal access I am sure it is fine. I simply needed this specific length.
My wife and I purchased a travel trailer a year ago. The tailgate of my truck was too close to the trailer to allow it to open. I purchased the extension from you to eliminate that problem. I purchased this one because it is 2" solid and had a 10k rating.

Roadmaster Hitch Extender for Tow Bars - 2" Hitches - 7-3/4" Extension
I have included some photos of the hitch extension. The first two are just on my truck without and with the extension. Without the extension, note the proximity of bike handlebars to the tailgate. In the second photo with the extension, the handlebars are much removed from the tailgate. Note that this is a ¾ ton truck with an insert in the receiver. With the insert in place, the front holes of extension did not align with the receiver. It was short 1/8 to 3/16 inch. If needed, I could solve this issue with a smaller bolt. The next photos are without and with the extension in the receiver of our RV. With the cover on RV the dramatic effect of extension is not so obvious. In the first photo without the extension, the handlebars of bike literally contact the back of RV. In contrast in the second photo, the handlebars are 5 to 6 inches from the back of the RV. Though there are no road trips yet, I am confident that the hitch extension will protect the bike and importantly will protect the back of the RV. I hope that these comments and photos are useful to you. If no, I can try again in spring when we remove cover from the RV.
Very disappointed! Called to ensure this would work with my Hollywood RV bike rack. It does not. The Hollywood rack needs three inches of depth to the center of the pin hole. Aggravated that I have to repackage, return and now get the correct extender.
What our customers are saying:
"WOW! I am impressed! I called to place my order and real person answered, spoke perfect English, albeit a slight southern accent, and my order was sent within a day, shipped quickly and I had it a few days later. I saved over a hundred dollars over local and installed it my self. I cant imagine how that they could do any better. THANKS!"
