Flip it for an 8-inch drop or a 6-3\/4-inch rise, slide it into the hitch, add the ball that matches your coupler, and you're set for boat, utility, and RV trailers up to 6,000 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Camco 48302 is a fixed steel ball mount, the part that bridges your truck's 2-inch receiver and the trailer coupler. Its whole job is simple. Get the trailer sitting level behind the tow vehicle so it tracks straight, brakes evenly, and doesn't ride nose-up or tail-down. This one is a single-piece steel drawbar, not an adjustable multi-hole platform, so you pick your height once and tow with confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCamco has been building towing and RV gear since 1966, and the 48302 is exactly the kind of no-drama hardware they're known for. There's nothing fancy here, and that's the point. A ball mount is a safety part first. It carries your trailer's tongue weight and everything riding behind it, so it needs to be strong, correctly sized, and easy to hook up. This one checks those boxes for the trailers most boaters and weekend haulers actually pull.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's how the height works. The 48302 gives you an 8-inch drop in one orientation and a 6-3\/4-inch rise when you flip it over. Most half-ton and three-quarter-ton trucks sit taller than the trailer coupler, so the 8-inch drop is what you'll reach for. Lift the truck, add bigger tires, or tow with a trailer that rides high? Flip the mount for the 6-3\/4-inch rise instead. Either way the goal is the same. You want the loaded trailer to sit parallel to the ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasuring for it is quick. Park on level ground, measure from the ground to the top inside edge of the empty coupler, then measure to the top of your receiver opening. The difference is the drop or rise you need. If your coupler sits about eight inches lower than the receiver, this is your mount. Get within an inch or so and the trailer will tow level once it's loaded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shank is 10 inches long and slides into any standard 2-inch receiver, secured with a hitch pin. The platform is drilled for a single hitch ball, and the ball is sold separately so you can match it to your coupler. Boat, utility, and small RV trailers commonly use a 2-inch ball, but check the stamped size on your coupler before you buy. Pick a ball rated at or above your trailer's loaded weight and torque the nut down to spec. Getting that ball height right is the whole reason a drop mount like this exists, so take a minute with a tape measure and you'll be rewarded with a trailer that rides flat and tows without sway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt from steel, the 48302 is rated to handle trailers up to 6,000 pounds gross. That covers a lot of ground. Single-axle fishing boats, tandem-axle utility trailers, small travel trailers, and most pontoon setups on a single trailer. It's a straightforward, take-a-beating piece of gear that lives outside in the weather, so give the steel a wipe and a light coat of paint or grease on the shank now and then to keep rust off. A quick look at the welds at the start of each season is smart practice on any ball mount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA couple of things to know going in. This is a non-swivel, non-extendable mount, so it holds one fixed position and doesn't pivot or telescope. It ships without a ball and without a hitch pin, so grab those separately if you don't have them. And if you're towing near the top of its range, or you notice the back of the truck squatting under tongue weight, pair it with a weight-distribution setup to spread the load and keep steering and braking sharp. For everyday towing under 6,000 pounds, slide it in, drop in your ball, and go. It's the kind of part you buy once, bolt a ball to, and stop thinking about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-inch shank fits any standard 2-inch trailer hitch receiver\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8-inch drop or 6-3\/4-inch rise by flipping the mount to level your trailer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e10-inch shank length reaches past the bumper for an easy hookup\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated for trailers up to 6,000 pounds gross trailer weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid steel construction stands up to years of outdoor towing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePre-drilled platform accepts a standard hitch ball (sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNon-swivel, non-extendable design holds one fixed, secure position\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorks with boat, utility, and small RV trailers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Camco reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat size receiver does the Camco 48302 fit?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt has a 10-inch steel shank sized for a standard 2-inch hitch receiver.
