One of the many advantages
of choosing a Lance truck camper as your RV is the ability to tow all your toys!
When towing behind a Lance camper that comes with a rear camper bumper, extending
the hitch from the truck rearward to the camper bumper is necessary.
The method Lance recommends involves a truck-mounted Class V receiver hitch and
hitch box extension. A draw bar with hitch ball is inserted into the hitch box
extension, the same way it would be inserted into the receiver hitch itself.
Cequent Towing Products manufactures the Reese® Titan™ Class V receiver
hitch and hitch box extension specifically for truck camper applications. It
replaces standard factory-stock receivers (which are usually Class III- or IV-rated,
and generally inadequate) and substantially increases towing capacity.
The other important benefit is that Cequent's Reese Titan Class V system doesn't
require you to attach the receiver hitch or hitch box extension to the camper.
The hitch box extension can be in place when loading or unloading your camper.
For very heavy loads, the hitch box extension in combination with a weight-equalizing
hitch can be used.
Always observe your truck's tow ratings – and the advice of your Factory
Authorized Lance Dealer. Their service teams have the knowledge, experience and
skill to outfit your rig correctly. |
