Ball Mount Recommendation for Towing Coachmen RV
Question:
I want to tow a Coachmen RV with a Ford F150. The hitch height in the F150 is 19’’ see photo. According to the RV manufacturer, the measurement with the RV leveled from the ground to the center of the ball coupler is ~ 20”. What type/model of ball mount should I use? the F150 has a 2’’ receiver and the RV has a 2-5/16 ball coupler.

You'd need a drop of right at 1 inch to tow the trailer you mentioned level based on the dimensions you listed. The closest to that is a 2 inch drop ball mount like the part # C45331 which fits a 2 inch hitch like you have as well. It has a towing capacity of 15,000 lbs and comes with a 2-5/16 inch hitch ball as well. This comes with a pin and clip as well.
Since there isn't a 1 inch drop ball mount and this is very close it will work well.
