RE: Hitch Extensions

["Snodgrass, Bonnie" <snodgrab@ncr.disa.mil>]

I bought my neighbors bumper pull trailer last year and he threw in the
weight distributing  hitch with the trailer. He had one of the big extended
campers that hung over the end of the pickup bed. The weight distributing
hitch is composed of several pieces and is excellent to use when pulling a
heavier bumper pull trailer. It also has an extended hitch bar which gives
you room for the camper while having a brace for the extended bar. The one I
have has an adjustable hitch bar, allowing you to move the ball mount up or
down to level your trailer out. There are sway bars that are hooked up
between the truck (from the ball mount) to the trailer tongue (bolt-on
brackets) that eliminates swaying of the trailer. Go to the Reese web site
to learn more. They do sell simple extended bars but I would highly
recommend the weight distributing hitch.

Does anybody pull their trailer with a hitch extension? 
	 I am trying to find out how safe this set-up is. We are in the
process of buying a camper, but the best one for our purposes is 9'6", hangs
over the truck bumper, so we'd need an extension for the trailer.  The idea
makes me totally nervous
