• Hitch Extension for 2-1/2-Inch Receiver to Allow Towing When Using Slide-In Truck Camper
• We do offer hitch extensions that can be used when a truck has a slide-in camper and also needs to tow a trailer. For a 2-1/2-inch receiver tube we offer several lengths of hitch extender/reducer that are shown on the linked page. These fit into the 2-1/2-inch receiver on the truck and both extend length and reduce the receiver opening down to the popular 2-inch size. This allows use of a 2-inch ball mount. You will want to select the item with just the length needed to allow the trailer's...

• Hitch Spare Tire and Cargo Carrier Solution Recommendation
• If you have a sturdy hitch one solution is the Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier w/ 2" Receiver Opening # RM-195225 and then using a cargo carrier in the hitch opening like the # C18152 which is a non-folding carrier that will fit the 2 inch hitch. This setup will cut your hitch capacity in at least half so please do not try to carry anything too heavy if you go this route.

• 7-way Blade to 6-Round Pin Trailer Connector Adapter
• We don't offer the Curt part, but we do carry the identical Hopkins # 47549. This adapter is set up with the center pin carrying the 12-volt auxiliary power circuit, but it can easily be swapped so the center pin carries the brake output if necessary, if that's the way your connector on your trailer is wired. I'v linked to a product description video featuring the # 47549 adapter.

• Best Suspension Enhancement for 2019 Chevy Express 2500 to Reduce Wheel Hop
• What you are experiencing is called wheel hop and we have exactly what you need to minimize that in your 2019 Chevy Express 2500. I highly recommend the RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit; you will need either # RAS2613-M (for Passenger Vans) or # RAS2611-V (for Cargo Vans). This is the best suspension enhancement for your van because it is an active system which will absorb the force of the up-and-down movement that causes your van to bounce. That force is normally...

• Base Plate Options for 2006 Chevrolet Express Van

• 2006 Chevy Express Towing Mirror Recommendations to Keep Heating Feature
• The K-Source Custom Towing Mirrors # KS62169-70G only come with the manual operation and no electrical connections, but if you'd like to retain the heat feature on your OEM mirrors and get the extended towing mirrors as well then I recommend picking up the Longview Custom Towing Mirrors # LVT-1700 which just slip on over OEM mirrors and allow you to use the same features you're currently used to on your 2006 Chevy Express.

• Advisability of Using Tire Chains on a 2010 Chevy Express
• If the owners manual prohibits the use of tire chains, I cannot make any recommendations that might contradict that. You might check with your Chevy dealer to see if a Class S tire chain or cable would be permissible. A Class S chain will extend no more than 15 mm (some would extend less) to the inside of the tire and would provide maximum clearance. I have linked you to our selection of Class S chains and cables that are compatible with your tire size. The primary differences between...

• Availability of Towing Mirrors for the 2005 Chevrolet Express Van
• We have several types of universal towing mirrors that should work nicely on your 2005 Chevrolet Express Van, see link. I would recommend the CIPA Deluxe Door Mount Mirror, item # 11650.

The Clip-On mirror that you referenced, # 7070, works well at low speed and when parking, but has a significant...
