The length from the center of the hitch pin hole to the angled brace is 4-1/2 inches. The measurement from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the receiver pin hole is 10-3/4 inches.

I have a 2018 Tiffin Red 37BA motor home. I tow a 2013 Ford Edge. The distance from the Ford Edge towing pin holes is 25". The distance to the Red receiving hitch hole is 17". It looks to me like I need an 8" lift. the information I have reviewed on your website looks like the Roadmaster RM-048-8 would be the adapter I would need. However, the bumper on my Red extends 7.5" at the top of the adapter and the adapter only gives me 7.25" when I need at least 8". The angled brace is not a problem. Do I have the measurements right? If so, do you have a solution to my problem?

Technically the 8" rise you mentioned needing is correct, although you could get away with a bit less - we just recommend getting within 3" of level. Would a lower rise allow the receiver to sit below the RV's bumper? If so, you could use the Roadmaster # RM-048-6, which features a 6" rise. This is still enough to get you within the 3" "Safety Zone".
