  • Recommended Bike Rack to Use with the Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk
    I have a great option for you. When using the Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk Trailer-Mounted Bike Rack Carrier for A-Frame Trailers # CC-275 there are a few parameters you will need to stay within. The bike rack needs to be travel trailer rated, fit a 2" hitch and the combined weight of the bike rack and your bikes needs to be less than 100 lbs. Given these parameters I recommend the Lets Go Aero NEO2 2-Bike Rack # B01748. This 2 bike rack is the lightest weight of the racks that are rated...

  • Frame Mounted Trailer Hitch for Travel Trailer
    We do indeed offer some hitches that are designed to bolt to the frame of your travel trailer. If the frame members on your travel trailer are between 18-51 inches apart, the Curt Hitch # C13701 would be an excellent choice, with it's tongue weight capacity of 500 lbs. For frame members between 22-72 inches apart, use the Curt Hitch # 13703, which has a tongue weight capacity of 350 lbs.

  • Receiver Hitch Recommendations For A 2021 Flagstaff E-Pro 19 FBS
    To add a receiver hitch for a bike rack you'll actually connect the hitch to frame of your RV and not use the bumper as most aren't rated to hold the weight of a bike rack and bikes. You'll need to measure from beam to beam to see what frame distance you have. The Multi-Fit Motorhome Trailer Hitch, 24" - 46" wide Item # 5350 you linked to will attach to a frame distance of 24" to 46". We also offer the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver - 18"-51" Wide - 2" Drop - Class III - 2"...

  • Can a Trailer Hitch be Installed on the Back of a Trailer
    I am not really sure what you are trying to do but you can install a trailer hitch on the rear of a trailer. There are two different kinds of trailer hitches for trailers, frame mount and bumper mount. The frame mount hitches are much stronger but will require more effort to install whereas bumper mount hitches typically have less of a capacity as they are limited to the bumpers capacity but require less effort to install. Please note that before you install a bumper mount hitch you will...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver With 2 Inch Receiver for Motorhome on Ford Transit Chassis
    We can help you out with a trailer hitch for your 2019 Coachmen Orion on a Ford Transit chassis, and while there isn't a spec drawing for the Draw-Tite # 75912, I can tell you for certain that it will not fit your chassis, as the manufacturer has directly specified this doesn't fit the chassis versions. What you can use instead is a multi-fit RV hitch made for multiple applications, it will simply depend on the width of your motorhome's frame. For a frame that is between 22" and 66"...

  • Can the Curt C13701 Carry a Dirt Bike on the Back of my Grand Design Imagine Trailer
    The Curt # C13701 hitch has a 500-lb tongue weight rating, so it will be able to handle the weight of your dirt bike without issue as long as the carrier is rated for use on the back of a trailer or RV. Any type of carrier - bike, cargo or motorcycle - that will be used on the back of a motorhome or trailer MUST be made specifically for that application; you cannot use something that was designed to be used on a hitch on a passenger vehicle. These accessories, when used on a trailer or...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Weight Distribution System for 2007 HS M30SFS and Trailer
    For your 2007 HS ADMIRAL SVE, your Hidden Hitch receiver sounds like it is capable of towing your trailer. The rated 5,000 lb capacity is without weight distribution, but from my research it is rated for 6,000 lbs with weight distribution just like the Curt # C13701. If you are needing a weight distribution system for this hitch receiver you likely will need a system rated for 15% of your total trailer weight. That puts you around 540 lbs roughly. You want a system that falls in the...

  • Can I Drill Holes in the Brackets of the Trailer Hitch Receiver to Match RV Frame Holes?
    I definitely see the logic in drilling holes in the mounting bracket of the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver - 18"-51" Wide - 2" Drop - Class III - 2" # C13701 versus the frame of your RV, however it isn't that easy. If you were to move the bracket attachment holes, then you would minimize the weight capacity and stability of the trailer hitch receiver as well as void the warranty on the hitch. The installation would be easier for sure, but I can't recommend going this route as...

  • Is It Possible to Install Trailer Hitch on 2006 K-Z Escalade Trailer
    It is absolutely possible to install a trailer hitch on your 2006 K-Z Escalade trailer; it will only require that your trailer have a box frame, C-channel frame, or I-beam frame that is between 22 inches and 72 inches wide. Should your trailer have that you will be able to use the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs # 13703 which will can either bolt or weld onto your trailer's frame.

  • Recommended Frame-Mount Trailer Hitch for Winnebago Motorhome

It offers a 350-lb tongue weight capacity. This item fits on box frame, C-channel frame, or I-beam frame RVs. This is a Class III hitch; no class IV hitches are available in this universal-fit type. For a higher-capacity option Curt offers hitch # C13701, also a 2-inch Class III type, that offers...

  • Is RV Trailer Hitch Available with 10,000 lb Weight Capacity
    If you are looking for a trailer hitch to mount on your RV then the highest rated capacity is the Curt Trailer Hitches parts # C13702 and # C13701 which are both rated for a max of 6,000 lbs towing when a weight distribution (WD) system is used. These are the same hitch with the only difference being the 13701 has a 2" drop for the receiver. We do have the Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Cross Tube # 41991 which has a 16,000 lb towing rating but I'm not sure if it would fit your...

  • Availbility of Trailer Hitch for RV
    The RV hitches are fairly universal so I can give you some options and you can decide based on dimensions and the style you want. For a frame mounted hitch you will need to know the frame width of your RV. The Curt # C13701 fits frames 18" to 51" wide and the # 13703 fits frames 22" to 72" wide. You could also choose to go with a bumper mount hitch. The Curt # E-100 fits a 4" x 4" bumper and the # C19101 fits a 2" x 4" bumper. You will also need to find the capacity of your RV/bumper...

This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver that has the requested 5,000 lbs towing capacity. This is a universal hitch that can be bolted or welded onto your Workhorse's frame.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for Forest River Geo Pro
    The best option I have to install a trailer hitch on the back of a Forest River Geo Pro to be used for carrying a motorcycle is the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13701. The Curt hitch features a four bolt installation so it will be easy to install but you do need to make sure your frame width does not exceed 51". It can be used for pretty much anything you wish but will be best for a motorcycle because of its 500 lb tongue weight capacity which is pretty much the limit...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2010 Chevrolet Express Box Truck
    Kenneth, since you probably do not need as much drop as most you'd probably best benefit from a hitch that has minimal drop like the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13701 that has 2" of drop or # 15901 for a 3" drop. Both of these hitches are semi-universal so they'll fit a range of frames, both have a 2" receiver opening, and are both assembled in the USA. The main difference other than the drop, is # 15901 is a class V hitch rated at 16K, and # C13701 is a class III hitch,...

    The Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk Trailer-Mounted Bike Rack Carrier for A-Frame Trailers - 2"-100lbs Item # CC-275 has a max weight capacity of 100lbs so it wouldn't be able to support the bike rack and 4 bikes. Instead you can install a Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver - 18"-51" Wide - 2" Drop - Class III - 2" Item # C13701 if your frame distance falls between 18-51", if not let me know and we can find an alternative.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For A 1992 Ford E-350 Shuttle Bus
    Hi Tad, Based on the dimensions you provided I recommend going with the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs, 18" to 51" Wide # C13702. This would mount under the frame with the receiver tube sitting roughly 2" below the frame. If you need an additional 2" (4" total) to clear any rear bumper/fascia then you can go with the # C13701 instead. These hitches fit frame widths from 18" - 51" and any excess can be cut off of the crosstube with a chop saw to fit. There are a few other...

  • Front Mount Hitch Fitment on a 2020 Coachman Leprechaun with Chevy 4500 Cutaway Chassis

While I do have a possible solution for you, there aren't any custom fit front mount hitches designed for your 2019 Chevy 4500 Cutaway Chassis so for your application you'll need to use an adjustable hitch like the Curt # C13701.

    Thanks for the picture, and the measurements! I took a look at your bumper, and it doesn't appear that the Mount-n-Lock GennyGo Generator and Cargo Carrier for RV Bumpers # MNT54FR will be a good fit for you. This cargo carrier will fit square and rectangular RV bumpers with a maximum depth of 6", and since you mentioned that your bumper is a notch over 7", this will not work.

I made a diagram for your reference. In regards to carrying your Super Moto motorcycle, we recommend that you always remove the battery when you transport it. Not only will this help to reduce the weight/strain on your hitch, but it is a safety thing as well. In the event of a worst case scenario or collision...
