Dual Hitch Receiver to Clear 6 Inches for the Back of an RV

Question

Question:

I am looking for a dual hitch like the D210 but it needs a distance of 6 inch between the hole and the bar connecting the hitch and the receiver it is 5.5 inch in the D210. Does something like this exist? The rear bumper of my RV sticks so far out in the rear that the D210 is just 0.5 inch too short

We do have Malone adapter # MPG544 which measures 9 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the back of the top receiver.

If you are needing the dual receiver in order to carry an accessory at the back of your RV while also towing a vehicle behind the RV then there are some options that will work for you such as Roadmaster dual receiver adapter # RM-077-2 (2 inch rise/drop), # RM-077-4 (4 inch rise/drop), # RM-077-6 (6 inch rise/drop), or # RM-077-8 (8 inch rise/drop). But these are not rated for use when towing a trailer, only when flat towing or towing with a tow dolly.

Hello Steve. I do have a good solution for you, but I cannot recommend using the Malone Adapter #MPG544. Since it is rated for towing only 4,000 lbs, your 8,000 lb towed vehicle would be double the max towing capacity. You are right about there being…

Hi Robert; hopefully your Roadmaster tow bar is one that attaches to direct-connect base plates as opposed to crossbar base plates; for example the 8,000 lb Roadmaster Sterling would be optimal. Assuming that, here is what you need to flat tow your…

As long as the flat tow wiring is wired in before the 4-Way #C93ZV and you connect the power for the converter directly to the battery it will work. I have seen several use Magnetic Lights #TL21RK which they will wire in on the main harness to have…

I recommend the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter, 10" Drop/Rise item #RM-077-10. This adapter was designed for this type of set up. Your Jeep Rubicon and Swagman E bike rack weigh well below the 10,000 lbs maximum capacity of this hitch. I…

I do have some options for you but there isn't a plug under the dash for a trailer brake controller on a 2023 Chevrolet Traverse. Therefore, if you want to use a traditional dash mounted trailer brake controller you must hardwire which requires…
