Question:

Will you confirm that the total extension length from pin hole to pin hole is 19? And can this be used as a general hitch extender instead of used just for stairs similar to the HE18? Also, what is the weight reduction by using this adapter?

Expert Reply:

While the total extension that the Hitch Extender for Brophy Hitch-Mounted Stairs # RHSE provides is 19-1/2 inches from the closest pin holes it is not designed for use as a standard type of hitch extension. This should only be used with the hitch stairs # RHS2. That said, we do have a similar hitch extender that provides 18 inches of extension and also fits 2 inch hitches with the Curt # C45796. Since this was designed as a hitch extender it will work great for the application it sounds like you have. This will cut the capacity of the hitch by 50 percent.

I attached a review video for this for you to check out as well.
