Re: [RC] more towing questions - Clarence and Mary Nunn

Find someone who knows how to extend your tongue on the horse trailer. Usually 2 feet will do it if you are hauling a 91/2 ft camper. It's great gives you a nice turn radiance and no worry of hitting your camper and trailer

I am towing a four horse steel bumperpull and also carry a cabover
camper.  For this configuration I use a Titan Class V hitch with a
receiver extender. I have the pin in the second hole on the extender bar
(sorry can't remember the exact length that the bar extends, maybe
24"?).

I tow all this with a Ford F-550.  I believe I am well within my towing
capacity for that vehicle (17,500 lbs) but I am concerned about the
limits on weight for the extender bar.  I think it said something about
6,000 lbs when extended to the second hole position.  Any suggestions on
making this a safer combination?  Would stabilizer bars make the
extension safer??  Are there any higher weight rated extender bars?

Any suggestions appreciated!

Thanks!
