The best solution we have would be the Roadmaster High Low Adapter part # RM-048-10 which would give you a drop of 10-1/4 inches. We don't have anything that's between 12 and 16 inches but this would hopefully be enough of a drop to allow you to see better. view full answer...
We should have a potential solution for you, but to answer your question, no, you cannot safely use the Curt High-Low Adapter # C27KR for this purpose. The Curt adapter is to be used for flat towing only and cannot be used for towing a trailer, regardless of weight.
Are you trying to raise/lower the height of a weight distribution hitch? Generally this is done by using a shank with the appropriate amount of rise or drop such as the Curt Welded Weight Distribution Shank # C17123.

Hello Greg. I do have a potential solution for you, but the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter # CAB-C5G that you were looking at will not work for this purpose. Reason being that this kind of adapter is not compatible with a cushioned pin box.
Your best option will be to replace your MORryde cushioned pin box with a goosebox like the Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box # GY38FR. Keep in mind that these gooseboxes are not universal. If you can... view full answer...
Hey Lamar,
The Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider # DM69GV has side plates with attachment points that will drop right into your Ram's puck system an without the need of any other kind of adapters or rails. The only thing you might need would be a new capture plate for the hitch head if you have an upgraded pin box (rota-flex, flex-air, Pull-Rite, etc.). view full answer...
Hello Deston. The Curt Crosswing # C86JR is definitely going to be the lightest 5th wheel hitch we have. It weighs about 60 lbs so removing it from the bed will be easy. Any other hitch will be well over 100 lbs, with the heaviest hitches like a B&W or Demco weighing in the ballpark of 300 lbs. Since your truck has the puck system, you will need to use the Adapter Rails # C29BR in order to use the Crosswing hitch.
That said, we generally recommend a sliding 5th wheel hitch like the B&W... view full answer...
It sounds like your current 7-way is attached to the factory hitch of your 2014 Ford F-250 that you will be replacing with the Curt # C14355 and are looking for a way to relocate the 7-way. One solution would be the part # PK12711U that you referenced which will allow you to attach your 7-way to the bumper. Or you could replace the 7-way with the part # HM40975 which comes with a 7-way and 4-way plus a bracket to attach to the rear bumper. view full answer...
Thanks for all of the info you listed from the RV's Rota Flex pin box. Based on that the pin box model style is the Lippert 1621 so for a Gen-Y gooseneck adapter the correct part number is the # 325-GH-8045. view full answer...
So the number GH-8045AL you are seeing is the Gen-Y part number for our # GY58GR. So everything is okay with that. As far as the height and the mounting holes it can vary so much from camper and vehicle that I always say it is best to just ensure you have the clearance you need above the bed rails on your 2021 GMC Sierra. You really want to see 6" of clearance and as you are at 4" you are going to want to move the pin box down a set of holes as they are spaced on 2" vertical increments.... view full answer...
Hi Alan,
To drop the weight down to something manageable for one person you could switch to the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16120 (116lbs) along with the Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch # C29BR (95lbs). The head of the A16 can also be easily removed by pulling the pin locking it to the head assembly, reducing the weight further. To use this with your Turning Point pin box you also need the Curt A-Series Wedge Kit # C16992. view full answer...
Hey Addam!
According to my research the MORryde You Turn RSPB83-1622 your trailer is equipped with has a unique bolt pattern that isn't compatible with any aftermarket solutions so for your application I recommend locking out the pin box and using an alternative kind of adapter like the Demco Recon # DM8550045 or the Convert-A-Ball # CAB-C5GX1216.
I personally like the Recon a lot because it's a bit more universal and you can easily tow different 5th wheel trailers with it, but the Convert-A-Ball... view full answer...
Hi Ed,
I always prefer hitch mounted bike racks over trunk mounted so your Corolla will need to have a trailer hitch. If you don't currently have one then I recommend installing the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24983.
Once installed you can choose a bike rack with a 1-1/4" shank. I own the Thule DoubleTrack Pro XT Bike Rack # TH92BJ, which has an adapter to work with either a 1-1/4" or 2" trailer hitch receiver. It can accommodate tires up to 5" wide, has padded ratcheting... view full answer...
Hello Rene. The best way to do this will be to replace the pin box on your 5th wheel with a goosebox like the Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box # GY66FR that you were looking at. That said, these Gen-Y gooseboxes are not universal, and I will need more information from you in order to make an accurate recommendation.
First I will need to know the pin box number or size of your current pin box. For example, the Gen-Y # GY66FR will replace the Lippert 1621 and 1621... view full answer...
I have one hitch for your 2013 Mazda MX-5 Miata however, none of our spare tire carriers are small enough to fit it. The Curt Trailer Hitch item # C11028 is a class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver. Due to the small size and weight of your car this is the largest capacity hitch available.
All of our spare tire carriers like the Curt item # c31006 you were looking at fit a 2" class III receiver. Additionally, the owner's manuals prohibit the use of adapters like item # HTAD that would allow... view full answer...
Hi Tom,
For a single-bike rack with a true 2" shank I recommend the Kuat Piston SR Bike Rack for 1 Bike # KU88ZR. This bike rack is rated for use on all vehicles, 5th wheels, motorhomes, travel trailers, and flat towed vehicles so you'll be able to transfer it over to whatever you want. When on a vehicle it has a 100lb capacity and when on an RV the weight capacity will dip down to 67lbs to accommodate for the harsher ride quality an RV would place on the rack. The shank base of this... view full answer...
The Kuat Beta item # B202-2 would work great with your Townie bike. You will want to use the Kuat Ubar Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Women's and Alternative Frame Bikes item # UB01 for better support. It connects to the handle bar and seat stem posts to provide a sturdy base to attach your bike.
The Kuta Beta item # B202-2 hanging style bike rack will carry up to two bikes weighing in at 40 lbs each. It weighs only 12.6 lbs and comes fully assembled. It is compatible with the Draw-Tite 2"... view full answer...
The best way to put a front mount bike rack on a 2010 Toyota Tacoma is by installing a front hitch # 31313. The 2" receiver and 350 lb TW capacity will allow you to carry pretty much any bike rack of your choosing.
I am not sure what kind of bikes you have or how many you need to carry. A great option for a 2-bike rack is the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider # HR200Z. This rack can hold two bikes weighing up to 45 lbs apiece. I like this rack particularly for front mount applications because... view full answer...
Reese actually already has this out, so you'd want to take a look at the Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter # RP94716-61301.
This pin box has a max weight capacity of 16,000 lbs and will replace your current pin box and will give you the ability to tow your Grand Design with a gooseneck hitch. view full answer...
I understand your confusion Erik. You are going to want to use the 16K Reese Goosebox # RP94716-61301 on your 2023 Keystone High Country. You will also need the Safety Chains # RP49151 as they are required on all trailer which use a ball connection. If you selected the 20K Goosebox # RP85FR you would have a hard time getting the ride quality right since the air spring inside is designed for a much heavier weight. view full answer...
