Expert Reply:
Since it sounds like you don't need too much of an extension I recommend that you go with the shortest extension that we currently offer which is 11 inches long # HE6000. There is already a lot of play at the rear of a trailer due to the axle location. Adding an extender to the mix will only increase the amount of play that you will experience, so you will need to make sure that whatever you have on that rack can take a beating. You will also want to make sure that whatever accessory that you plan on using is rated for use on an RV.
This Advantage SportsRack Hitch Extender is for 2 inch hitches and accessories. Keep in mind that it will reduce the weight capacity of your trailer hitch receiver by 50 percent.
You can use the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock # HE6001 to help deter theft.
