While we do have a solution for you, there isn't an adapter like the Curt # C27KR that can be used to attach a ball mount; that is something used for flat towing and you can't safely use a ball mount inside an adapter inside a trailer hitch. So for towing your travel trailer what you will need instead is a ball mount that has the 13 to 14 inches of drop required to tow level.

For your 2 inch hitch there is one option available with the correct drop, from BulletProof Hitches:

- BulletProof Hitches Adjustable 2-Ball Mount for 2" Hitch - 14" Drop/Rise # HD2014

This ball mount has a maximum of 14 inches of drop and comes with a 2 inch and 2-5/16 inch hitch ball that will allow you to tow your travel trailer.

You will also need a pin and clip or hitch lock to secure it to your hitch if you don't have one, either the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitch # e98882, or if you want to secure the ball mount platform and the ball mount you can use the InfiniteRule Locking Pins for BulletProof Ball Mount - Stainless Steel - Qty 3 # 34061674-D.
