Hitch Extension Recommendation for Truck Camper with 51 inch Long Overhang

Updated 07/31/2018 | Published 07/30/2018

Question:

I have a truck camper with a 51inch overhang. What length extension do I need? If I use an extended ball mount to achieve the distance I need how does it affect the weight caring ability of the extension and is that recommended?

A 51 inch overhang is pretty long but the best option we'd have for a hitch extension needed for that would be the Titan Hitch extender part # RP45018 which can give you up to 48 inches of extension as needed. This extender at 48 inches has a capacity of 4,000 lbs.

You will need to have a 2-1/2 inch hitch installed on your vehicle and this provides a hitch opening for a ball mount designed for a 2 inch hitch.
