The frame extension could be the weak link.

Oh wow. I didn't know this was possible and from looking under the RV, I guess it makes sense. That existing hitch looks like it just comes off with 3 bolts on each side. Only problem with the removal is the 4/7 pin adapter harness, looks like WBGO has welded a bracket onto hitch bar. So removing that weld to get bracket it off exceeds my capabilities. I would also be a little leery about installing the new hitch myself because it say some drilling is required.
It has been a long while since I have called WBGO; so can't wait to see what they say about the frame extension rating? eTrailer may know this as well.
Can't believe the jump from 5,000# to 12,000#? If I dump most of loose cargo, I may be able to tow 7,000# max. But I only need 5,800# and I can leave everything on board.
