How to Select High/Low Hitch Adapter to Keep Tow Bar Level
Question:
Motor home receiver at 20, Blue Ox baseplate at 13.5inch above pavement, for 6.5inch difference. Better to use 4inch 2.5inch higher than baseplate or 6inch 0.5inch above baseplate?

Expert Reply:
Ideally your tow bar will be level when it is connected to both your motorhome and your vehicle's base plates. At most it can be 3-inches high or low on either end. Based on your dimensions the 6-1/2-inch height difference you have means you'll want to use a high/low hitch adapter that provides at least 6-inches of drop.
