Hitch Adapter for 7-Inch Height Difference Between Motorhome Receiver and Base Plates
Question:
I purchased a Blue Ox Tow system for my Jeep Wrangler. I intend to flat tow it behind my RV. The hitch on my RV is 24 inches off the ground and the base plate connection is 17 inches off the ground. Can you recommend a Hitch?

Expert Reply:
To prevent the tow bar from binding, the tow bar needs to be within 3 inches +/- of level. Since there's a 7 inch height difference between the RV receiver and the height of the base plates, the Blue Ox # BX88241 High/Low adapter you looked at would be absolutely perfect. It would put your towbar right at level, which is exactly what you want.
