Good morning Paul.

It sounds like you have a 2" receiver on your motorhome, but your tow bar has a 2-1/2" shank, and you need a 6" drop.

We have a solution but unfortunately, we don't have a 6" drop adapter that increases a 2" receiver to 2-1/2". But depending on your tow bar, we may be able to replace its existing shank with a 2" version so you can use a standard 6" drop adapter.

We carry replacement 2" shanks for several Roadmaster, Demco, and etrailer tow bars, including # RM63GR, # 910019-40, and # DM13570-81.

What brand and model tow bar do you have? I'll help you find the correct replacement shank and drop adapter.
