    2600RB Tongue Ball Size

    As I prepare to pick up our new camper, I just realized that I do not know what size ball to have in my truck receiver hitch. Dealer is closed today. I think the only ball I have is a 2" used on several trucks we have owned from 150 to 3500 sized. Can someone pass the news?

    It should be a 2 5/16”. Good luck and enjoy the new coach.

    Great! The threaded portion is larger than the hole in my receiver. 1.5 vs 1 inch. Gotta work this out.

    My MLE runs about 22.5” to the bottom of the ball receiver when level. Just more for planning purposes. I would think your RB would run similar.

    Do you have an HD truck?
    Sounds like you are not using a weight distribution hitch

    I'm using my neighbors truck (3/4ton) to pull the trailer 4 miles from my dealer to my house on Wednesday. There was a lot of confusion over the specs of hitch, ball, tongue - 2" shank size 1" 1.25", blah, blah, blah. We have it figured out thanks to this forum and a fast AMZN purchase. My truck should be at the dealer on or about 7/30. Will be ordering a PP3 or Hensley Arrow. Still not decided as the break-in for my new truck is ~1,000 miles.

    You can't go wrong with either of the hitches you considering.
    They were both designed by the same person. IMO the PP is newer technology.
    The PP customer support is outstanding.
    Enjoy your travels and be safe:
