Determining Correct Hitch Ball Size for 2013 Coachmen Clipper Camper
Updated 03/20/2018 | Published 03/17/2018
Question:
I bought a 2013 clipper 88inch camper, I am going to pick it up and the sellers do not remember what size of ball I need. Help please

Expert Reply:
Based on the 3,518 pound GVWR I found for your 2013 Coachmen Clipper, the coupler is likely compatible with a 2 inch hitch ball like the Tow Ready # 63845. This 2 inch diameter ball features a 1 inch diameter shank.
With that being said, I highly recommend trying to confirm the ball size from the seller, as it is possible that it couples to a different size. The type of ball it is compatible with should be stamped somewhere on the trailer itself, typically right on the coupler, or possibly the frame or tongue. Since you don't yet have the trailer on hand, you can ask the seller if he would be willing to look for this info on the trailer so you can be sure you arrive prepared to bring your new purchase home.
I have attached a great article on hitch balls that you might also find helpful, along with a link that will take you to our available selection.
