Expert Answers about Horse Trailer Accessories


  • Hitch Extension For Truck Bed Camper and 2 Horse Trailer on 2019 Chevy 3500 with 6.5 Bed
  • Your 2019 Chevy Silverado 3500 will come with the 2-1/2 inch receiver as you stated with a reducer sleeve in most cases for 2 inch accessories. If your loaded 2 horse trailer is under 6,000 lbs, then you won't need the SuperHitch. You can simply use the Reese # RP45292. And that will even expand to 8,000 lbs if you use a weight distribution system. If your weight is over that or if you just want more peace of mind, then you will need the SuperHitch # TLC1212 or # TLC1212-30 for the...

  • It is perfectly safe to use a reducer like the # C45405 you referenced. Using the reducer will not reduce the amount of weight the vehicle can tow, but a ball mount for a 2x2 receiver would typically has a lower towing and tongue weight capacity than a ball mount for a 2-1/2x2-1/2 receiver would. Just be sure that the weight of the fully loaded trailer does not exceed the weight of the lowest rated component of the towing system, like the hitch, ball mount, trailer ball, etc. If your...

  • Cover for 18 Foot V-Nose Cargo Trailer

  • How to Measure for a Gooseneck Horse Trailer Storage Cover

If your trailer is longer than this then we would not have an option for you unfortunately.

  • Can a Gooseneck Horse Trailer Be Converted To Work With Andersen Ultimate 5TH Wheel Hitch System?
  • You may be able to convert your gooseneck horse trailer if you can remove the gooseneck ball sleeve on your particular trailer. We do have inserts like the # KPG5-R30IP which is 4" in diameter. Then you would be able to get a 2nd coupler attachment from Andersen to use it with their 5th wheel connection.
