Would it be safe to add a ball mount with 4 inch drop to this ? I need a 4 inch drop from my RV for a tow dolly but want to use a cargo carrier also

I can't answer that. It could be a liability problem. I would call the manufacturer for recommendations.

They make a mount for these that fit into your receiver. I have used one for years and I take the wheels off and bungee it down on my carry all

Hello Richard. If you have a tow package / receiver tube on your vehicle then you can set up the carrier. Please keep in mind, the hitch sits lower to the ground than the vehicle making the carrier closer to the ground. Depending on weight and roads, the carrier may bottom out. There are hitch extensions available that slide into the receiver and come up the back of the vehicle to add height. We do not currently sell these but there are some available online and many hardware stores, such as harbor freight, do carry them.Another thing to be aware of is the weight capacity of the receiver on your vehicle. We hope this answer helps you.Thank youSarahLocksChocksTieDowns. com 856-374-4740 Hello Richard. If you have a tow package / receiver tube on your vehicle then you can set up the carrier.

i added the rear seat to mine which has a step pad to rest your feet on and this hitch with the receiver in it is tucked up under the rear step pad, which worked for me to hook a tow strap to pull a race car but you could not use this setup for a ball mounted on the receiver. the round hole is up under the step. i would have to do some measuring to see where it fits with the stock bag carrier mounted on the back. hope that helps.

It can only be used with a 2" mount regardless of the drop. I don't know if they make an adapter to fit 1-1/4" receivers.

this is an extremely heavy, well made hitch. Just be aware that it will move your connection point out away from your truck. We were going to use it with a 4" drop to get the total 12" we needed. When this was installed on the truck, then the 4" drop, the electrical connection cords and chains would not reach

That's interesting. I wonder why they say not to. It seems to me it would work like any other rack I've seen on the back of an RV trailer. You'll need a tow hitch to mount it on and not knowing how secure that might be I don't know if the boucing and wobble might be exaggerated at the end of a trailer and cause some danger.

Works great on my trailer with torsion axles with 6 lug 15" wheels for my 27 foot boat. You just have to be real careful you don't drive off of it as there is not a very big cradle so it's easy to do. It will get jammed in between the wheels.

Yes, I bought this unit for my Geo Tracker which has a 1 1/4 " receiver hitch. Tip...put the unit on a flat surface and do not tighten until assembled.

Yes, it is for a 2" receiver and it has a 2" drop. It is a monster of a ball mount.

Offhand I would think that your rig (tires/suspension) may have too much play to allow this to work. I took a chance ordering mine, and it worked, but my trailer is much smaller than yours. Perhaps ask a fellow camper to 'test drive' theirs, or ask a dealer to try it out first before you spend the money.

U need a ball hitch. The extension handle has a hole big enough to fit over ball. It comes with a caution to tow slowly

I put mine in the other way, I needed to drop down from hitch level. I found this same plate at tractor supply, but it was $60 more for the plate and the pint le hook

Should be no problem. Post fits in the same place the turnover ball goes. You set the hitch in and tighten some u-bolts down. Mine has a spray in liner in it with no problems. I see no reason it shouldn't work with a drop in liner also.

Your question would better be directed at either:1)The professionals at Draw-Tite. (extension use already cuts vehicle's tow capacity by 50%)Can only assume you indicating flat four towing? Not your vehicle aboard a trailer behind your RV type of towing?2)Your RV owners manual? And/Or the manufacturer of the hitch that is on your RV Lastly probably never ask the "professionals" here on Amazon.

I use a folding shank aluminum cargo carrier and it works great to prevent side to side dip ect. I also use a double receiver bar and it allows me to fold the carrier using the top entry while using the bottom for a 3.5 in drop tow bar for my trailer at the same time. I use the tightener on both and almost all movement is gone.
