I have a 10.5' Lance camper, and I would like to tow a couple of quads. How long of an extention should I put on my tow hitch. What kind of hitch do I need.<br>Thank you all

 

I have not seen class V 2&quot; extensions longer than 18&quot; . You may look at a Titan reciever which is 2 1/2&quot; tube. They come in lengths up to 36&quot;. I have a 10' and it takes a 24&quot; extension.

I made my own extension from square tubing and angle iron. It's 38 inches long and slides into my stock reciever. Never had any problems with it.<br>[/quote]<br><br>WOW! 38 in. long in a 2 in tube??<br>Do you know how much torque a lever that long put on your stock hitch??<br><br>Have you ever asked yourself WHY the manufacturers won't build any 2 in. tube extension longer than 18 in?<br><br>The 18 in. extension says to derate hitch by 1/3--which for the stock hitch would be a 333 lb tongue weight.<br>Your homemade extension at more than twice as long would have a rating of LESS than 166 lbs tongue weight. <br><br>You may not have had any trouble up to this point, but I don't want to be anywhere NEAR you when you drop that boat into oncoming traffic...<br><br><br>-------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>

 

He does say 2&quot; tubing AND angle iron...Don't get me wrong roadranger - 38&quot; of 2&quot; tubing with a boat hanging on the end is a bit scary - I would guess he must have some healthy bracing on it out of the angle iron.

 

I had a problem with a horse trailer behind a motorhome with a add on trunk...it was ezer to extend the trailer tongue for clearance I needed

 

I had a 12' camper and hauled a 20' boat. I bought a Tork-Lift receiver and extension. The stock class V hitch has 6 mounting bolts, the Tork-Lift has 12. The receiver has two 2&quot; receivers, one above another. I have a 48&quot; extension that is rated to 10,000lbs with a weight distributing hitch. The extension is really two extensions bolted together. The top is in tension while the bottom is in compression. It worked great. I have a fifthwheel now and don't need the extension anymore. They make the extension after the receiver is installed and the camper is on the truck.<br><br>I wouldn't advise hauling 10,000lbs at 4' behind the truck. But we did haul a boat, snowmobiles, dirtbikes and atvs without a problem.<br><br>You'll have to watch going over curbs, you may leave a mark if you're not careful.<br><br>I think they do mail-order.<br><br>Good luck!

 

Had a 10x12 Triton aluminum drive on/off v-nose snowmobile trailer. Sounds just like what you need.
