I've used Curt products before and this one did not disappoint. The packaging however was not up to the task. The box was open and I immediately started inspecting for damages and missing parts, thankfully the packer from etrailer completely wrapped the loose parts in reinforced tape and everything was there.

The hitch that we ordered was shipped the day of our order and came very quickly. The installation process was simple and worked very well on our bus. This gives us the capability to tow a small trailer to carry our luggage for the youth conferences that our teens attend throughout the year.
by: Dale 09/25/2022
Very pleased with this hitch, it fits my Thomas HDX bus with very little modification. only had to drill two additional holes in the frame. extreamly rugged and up for the job.

Hitch worked out great. Mounted it on the back of my 5th wheel. Use it to tow a Kubota RTV or my dog trailer.
by: Mike 09/24/2018
Well built product. Easy install, took about 1 hour mostly for drilling holes. Be sure you have at least 2 brill bits for each size required.

Our hitch has worked great! We pull our Jeep Wrangler behind or class A gas motorhome without any issues.
Rick - 08/17/2018by: Jason10/11/2017
I actually ordered the wrong hitch; however, gave to a friend that needed one. He likes it. I ordered the same hitch but the 71 or 72 inch span. Had to customize the mounting to the fifth wheel camper as the camper had electric stabilizers installed. Anyway, works well, tow an 18ft deep V boat behind camper.
by: Theo08/27/2015
Ordered this to retro fit a Class III hitch on a '63 Willys truck. So far it works perfectly. Was able to attach it directly to the frame and not lose any functionality. Also ordered C45791 Hitch extender and won't need it with this setup. All parts were included and the install instructions were clean. eTrailer also did a great job of assisting with the order to ensure that it got to me as quickly was possible.

- Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2017 Ford Transit T350 ChassisFor your 2017 RV 350 Transit 350HD, I recommend the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13701. This hitch is adjustable and able to be trimmed flush to the mounting brackets. This hitch is a bolt on installation and is rated for 500 lb tongue weight and up to 5000 lb towing capacity. There is not a custom fit bolt on option for the RV models.

You will just need to make sure that the fit specs for the hitch match up with that of your 2007 Keystone RV Cougar 289BHS. One of the most popular options is the Curt Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13701 which is a Class III receiver that has a 2" receiver opening. This trailer hitch is compatible with trailers that has a frame width...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2018 Sundance Travel TrailerThe Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13701 is a great choice for adding a trailer hitch on your 2018 Sundance travel trailer. This is compatible with frame widths from 18" - 51" wide so you just need to confirm how wide your frame is to determine if this will fit. A review video and installation instructions have been linked for you to reference as well. Please note that a lot of states to not allow people to double tow (a trailer behind a trailer) so you need to confirm that...
view full answer... - Towing Capacity for 1983 Skyline Class C Motorhome With C30 EngineYour photos didn't come through, but I think I can help with some information you provided. Your 1983 Skyline Motorhome does not have a specified towing rating that I can find. So, it sounds like you would be restricted by the total towing capacity of the hitch. The strongest RV hitch we have is the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver - 18"-51" Wide - 2" Drop - Class III - 2" # C13701 which has a max towing capacity of 5,000 lbs or 6,000 lbs when using weight distribution. This is...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2015 Riverside Whitewater Retro 155Yes, for your 2015 Riverside Whitewater Retro 155 I recommend using the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13701. This hitch will be an excellent option for you so long as your frame rails are spaced between 18"-51" apart which they should. It has a class III rating with a 2" receiver tube opening. It also comes with all of the hardware needed for installation. I have attached a review video for you as well.

- Mounting Bracket Dimensions for Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch # C13701I went out to our warehouse to take some measurements on the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13701 that you referenced. The crosstube on the hitch is 2-1/2 inches x 2-1/2 inches. The bolt holes on the mounting brackets are spaced apart 8-5/8 inches, on center. I have attached an image of the mounting brackets with their outside dimensions labeled. The file you mentioned attaching did not come through so you if you need any other specific measurements just let me know and I will...

- Could Riverside Retro 157 have Curt Trailer Hitch # C13701 InstalledIf the frame of your trailer is between 18 inches and 51 inches and fits the standard trailer frame designs of Box frame, C-Channel frame, or I-Beam frame so as long as your Riverside Retro 157 matches that criteria the hitch # C13701 will fit and work well. This hitch can be welded on as well.
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2002 Newmar Mountain Aire MotorhomeFor your 2002 Newmar Mountain Aire Motorhome, the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver - 18"-51" Wide - 2" Drop - Class III - 2" # C13701 will be the closest option to the capacity you are seeking. It is rated for 5,000 lbs without a weight distribution system or 6,000 lbs utilizing one. There is not an RV rated hitch receiver compatible with the 10,000 lb capacity you are seeking, so you may need to look to a custom welder to assist you in making one if that is a requirement.

I've linked the page to all your options to assist. There is not a conversion available for a 5th wheel trailer or gooseneck trailer to a traditional rear trailer hitch and ball mount as the hitch weight of that size trailer is normally exceeding a rear mounted hitch capacity because the style of...

The best option we have is with the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13701 because it gives you a choice with regards to the installation method. With this particular hitch (which will fit frame widths of 18 to 51 inches) you can either use the included hardware to bolt the hitch to the frame, which will require drilling, or you...
view full answer... - Recommended 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Receiver for Flat Towing a VehicleThe best option we have for your 2008 Keystone Montana 3585sa is the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver - 18"-51" Wide - 2" Drop - Class III - 2" # C13701. This has a towing capacity of 5,000 lbs, so as long as your car has a GVWR less than 5,000 lbs you can use it in this manner. If you'd like recommendations to get your flat towing system for your car, let me know the year, make and model and I'd be happy to assist.

The only options I can offer you are universal like the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13701. This hitch fits frames spaced between 18" and 52" apart. It has a 5,000 max gross trailer trailer weight (GTW) and 500 max tongue weight (TW) rating. It comes...

As long as the width of your frame from the outside of each rails does not exceed 51" then this hitch will work great for you. It can either be welded or bolted into place though we do recommend a professional welder should you choose that option. I have...

None have a 600-lb plus tongue weight capacity and one of the largest capacities we have available is the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch, Item # C13701, which has a 500-lb tongue weight capacity. When used with a weight distribution system, it has a 600-lb tongue weight capacity. This hitch fits 18 inch to 51 inch frames. Before purchasing a hitch, I suggest contacting...

- Frame-Mounted RV Hitch for 2016 Keystone PassportA frame-mounted hitch for your Keystone Passport is a much better option than a bumper-mount type, both for stability and for weight capacity. We offer several frame-mount RV hitches with capacities up to 500-lbs of tongue weight. All such items are shown on the linked page. The key is checking your trailer's frame width to find the best match and the required capacity. We also have some with drop, such as Curt # C13701 which has its 2-inch receiver 2-inches below the crosstube.

- Trailer Hitch to Carry Mobility Scooter on the Back of a 2014 Keystone CougarCurt trailer hitch # C13701 is one option. It will fit frame widths from 18 inches to 51 inches. Frame width is measured from the outside of one frame rail to the outside of the other. This hitch is rated for 500 pounds tongue weight so it can handle the combined 400 pounds of the scooter and carrier.
