I know most of us don't use the receiver hitch for recovery but here's a video with some good info that someone posted on the Sprinter forum this morning. Most here probably already know about the risks of using offset draw bars and balls for recovery but reminders can't hurt. Especially interesting is the orientation of the shackle. My F-350 has a class 5 receiver and I've considered using it for light recovery on the beach and for towing with a strap.
