The built-in extension on Daydream's trailer only adds 4' to the tongue, which is often not enough. So this week I finally had an extended hitch made for the truck, adding another 4' 6" to the equation.
The initial report is very good. The welder used 1/4" square tubing (original was 3/16). It seems more than strong enough to handle the load, as does the receiver. I weigh 200lbs, and I can jump up and down on the end of it while it is already supporting the trailer tongue.
I'm looking forward to trying it out in the real world! Finally, a way to keep my rear brakes out of the salt water!
