Can Hitch Extender be Used with Curt Trailer Hitch # C15300

Question:

I am using a hitch extension because of a truck camper. It is 30 inches from receiver pin hole to ball. How much weight can the class V hitch take at that distance? I am not worried about the extension, just the twisting of the hitch, but seems the Super Truss style uses a similar build.

With the longer hitch extensions like the 30 inch one you have currently the extension is actually what will fail long before the hitch. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15300 has a tongue weight capacity of 1,200 lbs when used with a hitch extender but most likely the extender that you do have has a much lower capacity.
