Opinion on upside-down hitch

[MikeInColo]

The back of my RV sits a little low so the hitch comes pretty close to the ground (I usually have to loop the chains back around or they drag). If I put the hitch in upside-down, I gain a few inches of clearance.

Can anyone come up with a reason not to put the hitch in upside-down?

Thanks.

Not that I see. I do it all the time for the very same reason.

People do it all the time !! Ok to do,just don't over load the camper hitch !!

works either way, no problem

It's built that way, not upside down in either position, just depends if you need lift or drop at your hitch point

agree.

It's designed to be a raising or lowering hitch. Use it as you need it!

You just need to keep the trailer your pulling level.

Some designs are raise only. I would guess they don't have enough room for the hitch in the down position. Wayne

the reason it is off set is to give you options .
which is why there are sooooo many drops or raised postion hitches. no right or wrong way to put it unless stated on the hitch (use in drop postion only) or (raised postion only)
