Trailer Hitch

Have a 2020 Montana 3121 with 2” trailer hitch. I tried to install a Reese extension and it bound up in the receiver about 3 inches in. Anyone have this problem? Anyone have an idea how to correct it? Extension fits my other receivers with no problem.

Thanks

Get a flashlight and look inside to see what the obstruction is. Be aware, these hitches are not very strong in the first place, and the extra leverage the extension you are wanting to use will lower the available tongue weight.

Had to grind the stinger to make it fit. My theory is that the receiver has I slight bend in it. We plan to haul 2 e-bikes. Total weight including the bike rack will be 140#.
