I have something that may work for you as using a 12" Extension # 3371804015 will reduce your receiver capacity by 1/3rd. So with a maximum trailer weight of 7,500lbs on the receiver you would only be able to tow up to 5,000 with the extension.
The Curt Multi-Ball Adjustable Ball Mount # D900 is adjustable and will not reduce your towing capacity. This hitch has a length of 15-3/4" from the center of the receiver pin hole to the center of the hitch ball. This is our longest ball mount of this type to gain you the additional clearance that will hopefully allow you to extend your horse trailer far enough away from your camper in your 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 3,500 dually.
