Here's another solution we've been discussing. Not perfect, but an option.
Your Airstreams have the "A" style coupler, which sits in the middle of the frame (from top to bottom). If you change that coupler to a "B" style, that will get you about an inch and a half.
If you want to gain even more, weld 2" spacers on the tongue for the receiver and the hitch brackets. That's a bit more agressive, but I think the best solution is the coupler change.
We've been in touch with GM and, essentially, they're not concerned with towing issues. It's a tiny part of their overall market. I guess if you only take a $2billion loss, you can afford to snub your customers.
Enough of my griping. I expect Putnam will come up with some nice aftermarket solution as well. I'll keep my ear to the ground.
