Re: Newbie Towing Question.
Does it have an A, B, switch, or is it full of diodes?

Re: Newbie Towing Question.
I've never seen one for sale. Have you remembered where you found
it, maybe a motorhome, trailer sales? I can't figure out what key search
words to use.

It's not called "extension". It's "rise" or "drop", depending on which
way the ball mount is positioned. For example, a low rise mount might
have a 2 inch drop or 3/4 inch rise.
You can also buy taller than standard ***** if needed.
Extension is usually just called "length" and refers to how far back
the ball mount extends from the receiver.
