  • Using Curt Dual Purpose Ballmount # D210 Instead of Hi-Low Drop for a Cargo Carrier
  • The high-low adapters are only for use with a motor home while towing another vehicle with a tow bar. They are not designed or intended for use while towing any trailer, cargo carrier, or bike rack. A safer option would be the Dual-purpose ball mount, part # D210, which will raise the hitch opening 4-3/4 inches. The Dual-purpose ball mount also has a ballmount below the receiver for towing and using an accessory at the same time. The unit has a 7500 lb towing and 750 lb tongue weight...

  • Recommendations for Towing a Pop Up Camper with a 2005 Dodge Caravan
  • You will need to check your owners manual, or with the Chrysler dealer to determine the towing capacity of your 2005 Dodge Caravan.

  • Nearly every vehicle with an automatic transmission has a transmission cooler. I would guarantee that your 2007 Dodge Caravan has one, especially since your local Dodge dealer told you the same. Typically, the factory transmission coolers of vehicles are adequate at best when you are not towing so I would recommend you get a supplemental transmission cooler as well. The best way would be for you to keep your factory cooler and then route a supplemental cooler, like the Derale Cooler #...

  • Pulling a Pop-Up Camper and Using a 4-Bike Hitch Mounted Bike Rack Behind a 1999 Dodge Caravan
  • Depending on the size of the bikes and how many you intend to carry, turn clearance may become an issue, especially if the tongue of the trailer is relatively short. There is another method to tow and use a bike carrier that will provide some more clearance and reduce the chance of the trailer hitting your bikes. You could use Curt Multi-Purpose Ball Mount, part # D210. This will set the bike rack up another 4-3/4 inches, plus you can use a standard hitch mounted bike rack that you could...
