Ball Mount with 2 inch Rise Recommendation for 2023 Porsche Macan
Right around a 2 inch rise would be your best ball mount solution to allow you to tow your trailer level. For that the Curt Ball Mount with 2 inch ball part # C45155 would work really well. It has the 2 inch rise you need and comes with a ball mounted to it and a hitch pin and clip so it would be everything you'd need.

Best Way to Test for Tail Light Function on 2015 Porsche Macan
There may be a tester like that out there but it would be more high-end than what we carry so I recommend removing and unplugging the taillights on your 2015 Porsche Macan so you can use a tester like part # PTW2993 to get the functions you need to install the Tekonsha ZCI # 119250KIT. Attached is an installation video of the ZCI being installed on a 2017 Porsche Cayenne for you to reference.

Recommended RV Backup Camera For Airstream Basecamp X
There are RV backup cameras that replace a 3rd brake light, but based on the pictures I was able to find of your Airstream Basecamp X it appears you do not have a 3rd brake light that matches this type of setup. Instead, I recommend the Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Backup Camera System w/ Night Vision # FOS05TASF that includes a camera that can be mounted pretty much anywhere giving you endless options, and will only require you to connect the camera to a 12v power source and a ground.

Does the Curt Hitch # C13136 Fit the 2015 Porsche Macan
The Curt Hitch part # C13136 that you referenced is designed to fit your 2015 Porsche Macan as well as an Audi Q5. The install pics we have on our site show this hitch installed on the Q16 which has a different lower fascia than your vehicle. In the picture I attached you can see that the crosstube is largely visible when this hitch is installed on a Q16. On the Porsche models the cross tube is behind the rear fascia that will get trimmed slightly. It won't sit as high up as the OEM hitch...

Hatch Mounted Bike Rack for a 2015 Porsche Macan that Won't Put Stress on Spoiler
While the Yakima HangOut # Y02637 can be installed on a 2015 Porsche Macan the upper straps will still rest on the spoiler at the top of the rear hatch so it will put stress on it. What I recommend is the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top rack # HRF2. This rack has an additional upper arm piece to move the top straps up and over the spoiler so no stress is put on it. There is more than one way this rack can be installed. You will not have to have a roof rack to use it though many of our videos...

Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2016 Porsche Macan S
For a trailer hitch that fits your 2016 Porsche Macan S, I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75940. The reason I recommend this hitch over the Curt # C13136, which also fits, is the cross tube. The Curt has a visible cross tube so you will see it hanging down underneath your Porsche. The Draw-Tite has a concealed cross tube, so the only thing visible will be the receiver tube. This helps maintain a cleaner factory look and improves overall clearance. If you plan...

Hitch Recommendation for a 2015 Porsche Macan
The Curt hitch part # C13136 that you referenced once installed on your customers 2015 Porsce Macan S will look very similar to the picture I attached that shows it installed on an Infiniti Q5. We haven't had the chance to install this hitch on a Macan yet so we don't have any pictures of it on one. I confirmed with my contact at Curt that the hitch will fit the S models as well.

Recommended Trailer Hitch Fit for 2018 Porsche Macan
The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75940 has not yet been tested on a 2018 Porsche Macan, so I can't confirm that fit.

Roof Rack For Naked Roof On 2017 Porsche Macan

Recommended Trailer Dolly For Maneuvering Airstream Basecamp In Tight Spaces
To manuvere your 2500lb Airstream Basecamp Trailer into a tight spot I recommend the Trailer Valet XL Trailer Dolly with Chain Drive # TVXL2 if your trailer uses a 2" hitch ball which is more than likely the case. The Trailer Valet # TVXL2 uses a chain drive system that lets you crank the handle to move the trailer forward or in reverse to save your back, and the built in brake is automatically engaged when the handle is not up right to keep your trailer from rolling away. I included a...
