Expert Reply:
It sounds like you are looking for an adjustable ball mount to allow hitching your Terra Class A motorhome to your trailer, which is about 8-inches lower to the ground. The linked article explains how to measure to determine the correct fixed ball mount, or you can select an adjustable one if you prefer, such as # FA42-00-2800.
I linked our main page for 2-inch ball mount with 8-inches of drop, such as Curt # C45448, and I also linked our adjustable ball mounts which are probably a better option if you have more than one trailer to tow, or more than one tow vehicle.
