What Kind of Hitch Drop For An E-350?

In a historic move, I'm going camping with an actual camper. First time for everything

Here's the unit I'm renting: Cruise Canada: Compact RV Rental Model
A 19 foot 3-person camper built on an E-350 frame.


And since I'm not bringing the pickup, I need a trailer for my quad. Booked a 5x9 ramped Uhaul trailer that you can see below:


Ofcourse no hitch bar supplied by either company. I have one of those rotatable hitch bars for my truck, the kind with 3 hitch ***** and a hook on it. It doesn't have any drop to it.

So now trying to guess if I should get another bar with a little drop or if I'm ok with the one I have. I'd appreciate some insight. Thanks!

A 2" drop should work with the pictured U-Haul trailer assuming the RV receiver hitch is the same height as a regular body van.

I've got an E350 with a 2" drop bar and a 5x8 trailer, but my tongue is slightly lower than the pictured U-Haul trailer. With my 2" drop, the tongue is a little high, so I'll probably try a 4" drop at some point.
