Does the Curt Hitch Extender Part # C45791 Reduce Gross Trailer Weight

Question:

Does hitch extender reduce the tow vehicle motorhome hitch rating. I realize the tongue weight is cut in half but what about the load capacity of the motorhome hitch. in otherwords is everything cut in half, both tongue weight and the overall carrying capacity of motorhome hitch?

The Curt Hitch Extender part # C45791 will only reduce the tongue weight (TW) capacity of the vehicle's hitch, not the gross trailer weight (GTW). The tongue weight capacity will be reduced to 350 lbs or 50% of the vehicle's tongue weight, whichever is lower.

I have attached a review video of this hitch extender for you as well.
