The Lock N Roll Articulating Coupler # 336TS504 along with the Lock N Roll Articulating Hitch # 336VS503505 is no more difficult to back up a trailer than a standard ball and coupler. As there is less resistance in the motion of this coupler you also do not have to worry about the trailer sticking on the ball mount and not turning especially in the snow when you begin to turn and the rear end of the vehicle begins to slide.

Hey Timothy, since you need about 15 inches of extension and you have a Lock N Roll setup your best option would be just to go with the part #336TS520 which has 15 inches of extension built into it. Would that work for you?

Hey Nick, thanks for reaching out. If you’re thinking about welding the bolt-on Lock N Roll coupler onto your A-frame, I’d skip that idea. That version’s meant to be bolted, not welded. It’s painted and has pre-drilled holes, which makes it a bad…

Based on the images you sent in it appears your 2005 Starcraft RT10 does not use a traditional A-Frame coupler so the Lock N Roll #336TS504 will not work for your application. Instead you will need to measure the width between your frame rails the…

A High-Low adapter like the one you looked at is only intended for flat towing, not towing a trailer. Regardless, I would not use a separate adapter with the Lock N Roll. Use of your typical adapter will reduce the capacity of the hitch by 50%. It…
