I will be towing a light single axil trailer with a Harley or Cam Am commander 1000......total weight under 3500 lbs...

The Titan Hitch Box Extension and Reducer for 2-1/2" Trailer Hitches, # RP45292, is a confirmed fit for your 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD short bed with a Lance camper.

This extension is specifically designed for your slide-in camper with the extended overhang. It will extend your hitch out 24 to 34 inches, so you will want to measure to see if this extender clears the back or bumper of your camper. Please note that the extender will reduce the receiver opening to 2" x 2".

Please note that the tongue weight capacity of the Titan Hitch Box Extension, # RP45292, is going to be 10 percent of the weight carrying rating or weight distribution rating of the extension. I have included a video review of this hitch extension for you to check out as well.
