Where to Measure to Pick out Correct Rise/Drop Ball Mount
Question:
I own a 2000 Winnebago Brave 30foot class rv with a reese hitch. I also own an Acme Tow Dolly. The dolly is recommended to be towed at 14inch hitch height. My hitch on the rv measures 24inch to the top of the 2ball. What would you recommend as the most appropriate hitch to adjust for the dolly?

Helpful Expert Reply:
We need to get you a ball mount that will allow your tow dolly to be towed at the correct height. Basically you will need to measure from the top of your hitch opening down to the ground and whatever the difference is between that number and 24 inches is the amount of rise/drop you would need.
I attached a help article that covers this process.
