Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs, 22" to 72" Wide

Product as advertised. However, packaging was damaged and half of the hardware was missing. Contacted customer service and company will mail missing hardware. 456351

Working great!

Item arrived as scheduled and just as described, who can ask for anything more. Installation was as easy as directions portrayed except for the ab workout that comes along with drilling the holes, haha. 185087

I received my Hitch in only a few days after ordering and all the parts were in the box! I am 72yrs. and rather slow so it took me a few hours each day for several days to get the hitch fully installed on my Artic Wolf 5th wheel RV. The 72 inch wide hitch fit fine and looks excellent. I had no parts left over so I'm good to go. NOTE; the carriage bolt and square hole spacer system worked great for installing some of the hitch bolts inside my "box beam" where access was limited. 556020

I installed on my new 5th wheel to pull a motorcycle trailer. Very heavy duty, finish is holding up nicely. Fitting onto RV was easy and all parts went together nice. I recommend! 446297

Got it pronto. Just what I needed to feel safe pulling my bass boat. Very good quality and strong. Installed on a 2011 Rockwood 30' 8280 WS. The only modification was to move stabilizer jacks forward 3". 258430

This is the 3rd one of these I've put on my trailers. The first one I had welded on and it worked great. The 2nd one was my next rv and I bolted that one on and towed an additional trailer behind it with no issues either. The one I just bought will be installed on my new 5th wheel so I can tow my golf cart behind THIS trailer now too. I'm actually cutting off the factory installed 2 inch receiver to install this one in its place because I'm more confident in this one for towing than the beefy one installed by the factory. Great product! Fast shipping! Easy to install provided you have a drill, bits for steel, and a torque wrench. 575786

Excellent heavy duty hitch. I mounted it on a 2012 Flagstaff Classic 5th wheel and it works great. 495728

Good product; not so good installation instructions. Bolt length a bit long; access hole of 1.5 inches a bit narrow making it almost impossible to fish bolts through 2 X 4 rectangular tubing. I was a bit at fault in not checking the dimensions of the side plates. If the hitch is installed as indicated, realize that trailer clearance will be drastically reduced. 135039

I installed this hitch on the rear of my 2017 BigHorn fifth wheel. This hitch is really designed for installation on a motorhome, but worked quiet nicely being installed between the I-beams at the rearmost of my fifth wheel. We've mainly used it to carry a bike rack, but have used it to pull a boat twice and plan to pull a cargo trailer with motorcycles soon. The only down side to this hitch is that the weight rating is rather low (3500#) and the short non-adjustable length receiver needs an extension in order to project the hitch far enough out from under the trailer to make it usable. 496583

Although its designed to be used on a RV, the Curt 13703 can be used on your Ram, as long as you observe the 3500 lb towing/350 lb tongue weight capacity. Keep in mind that using a hitch extender will lower the capacity of the hitch by half.

Just received the hitch haven't installed it yet but looks like it's going to work. I was shocked when it showed up in two days, never had that fast of delivery. As soon as I can get it installed I'll update this review with pictures. I can say it is of solid construction and made to last, thought my wife would never get it in the garage. Again Wow on the delivery. 223330

Received the hitch in 3 days. Welded it on in about two hours. Fit perfectly on my 1999 Jayco trailer. 214581

I am reviewing the Curt Adjustable RV Hitch (13703). I purchased the Curt Adjustable RV Hitch for my Fifth Wheel Durango camper. I want to thank the etrailer staff for their assistance with this purchase and especially Kim who did some research on it to answer my questions. This is the third purchase I have made from etrailer.com and I'm always impressed with the assistance and technical information I receive from the staff. I received the hitch very promptly and in good condition. This hitch is a very sturdy hitch in my opinion. I did not find installation instructions with the product when I received it, so I went to the etrailer.com website and found the installation instructions on the product's etrailer webpage, ready to download, which I did. The installation of the hitch required more than the 60 minutes listed on the instructions page. I bolted the hitch on a box frame support under the fifth wheel, which took much longer than welding it on. I would suggest using a half-inch drill as a three-eights drill is just not heavy enough. Using C-clamps, I clamped the hitch in the correct position. I had to drill a couple of extra holes on each end of the hitch brackets due to the proximity of the manufactured holes to the edge of the box frame I was bolting it to. The bolts used are not what is listed on the parts list, which is one-half inch by 2 inches long. The bolts are actually two and one-quarter inches long, which made them too long to place inside the box frame support and be pulled through the drilled holes. I had to cut about three-eighths inch (or four threads) off of each bolt (12 in all) that was placed inside the box frame to be pulled through the frame bracket. These same bolts (4 bolts/2 on each end) also would not work when placed inside the main body tube which was bolted into the frame bracket. Trimming these bolts is what took so much time to complete the project. There is a unique way used to pull the bolts from inside the box frame support through all the drilled holes using a "fishwire'. My hitch came with two fishwires which are used by placing through the drilled holes, screwing the bolts into the wire, and pulling the bolt (with square hole spacer) through the hole from the inside of the box frame support. This process would have been much easier if I had had two inch bolts. The instructions also note that the bolts have to be torqued to 110 ft-lbs. But, it is now mounted to my fifth wheel securely and I am very happy with the hitch and how it fits my camper. Again, thanks to Kim for helping me with questions about the hitch before I purchased it. 462932

The product, shipping and customer service were great. Don't expect this to be a 1 hour job though unless everything is prepped. I installed on a Jayco 243 5er with a boxed frame. Some trimming of water tank cover required. Also found on this 2 in wide frame that trimming the bolts by 3/8 in. helped in fishing the bolts through. One person install, just a little longer than planned. Good heavy duty unit. 129031

Excellant. 10000 miles towing a jeep with no problems. Highly recommend this product.

Really like the hitch. Love the positive lock system, no question if its hooked and locked. Id buy it again every time

Randy C - 09/25/2018

I was very pleased with the ordering process, the very quick delivery date, and the installation process. Although I did have to relocate my stabilizer jacks about 4 inches, this was no real issue. The hitch fit like a glove and I was able to install it myself. It took me a little longer than most others because I'm 68 yrs old and also have Parkinson's Disease. So If I can install it, I figure most anyone can. I've included a picture. Thanks etrailer for a great experience. 443026

Its been a year since I installed this hitch. Ive pulled my boat several times with no issues. Great hitch and also - NO RUST.

Larry C - 10/16/2018

Like so many other that have written a review on this product......I have no complaints. The hitch is massive and I know will do the job intended. Just make sure you have four to five good sharp drill bits and use the step approach in drilling the holes. I was by myself using jacks and c-clamps to assemble the hitch but only took about 2 1/2 hours. With two people, could probably reduce that time. Overall, completely satisfied. 462910

Install went smoothly, had to relocate the manual scissor jacks that are used to level the RV. Receiver hitch was heavy duty with quality bolting hardware included. 423075

Nice hitch. Had to replace my sewer hose bumper so I could hold a back rack. I had help to hoist hitch up and mount to frame. The hitch adjusted to the width of my frame, we marked holes to be drilled, drilled holes, attached hitch to frame with supplied hardware and we were finished. I have the winter package which meant it took about 15 minutes to move the sheathing out of the way to access the frame but that it was not that much trouble. Hitch is very sturdy and I like the easy of installing myself (with a helper). Quick product delivery and product was what I thought and as explained on the product page. 555661

Product arrived on the expected date. However do to "holes" in the box most of the hardware needed did not ! Kinda a pain in the butt ! Otherwise product is OK, some paint chipping & scratches but that I can live with. Not having the hardware.... no excuses. Piss poor packing in my opinion. 442969

This is the closest receiver hitch I can come to that will fit my travel trailer. I can't use it the way it shows on the web site due to a fresh water tank in between the I beams there. I will modify the mounting brackets and have it welded to my frame by a pro to ensure it stays without any problems. 389534

I have hauled my carrier attached to my camper several times with this hitch and it is perfect. Love the quality and its ridgidity. I mounted it on my 2015 Jayco and it looks like it came on it from the factory.

Herman S - 06/06/2018

The receiver hitch could not have fit better if it had been custom made for my fifth wheel. Every part was right on, even the lock washer for the bolts were ingenious Thank you. Also orderd and received a wiring harness for my RV and it was perfect 141795

Great No Problems

Mike S - 07/17/2015

I like the product but the mounting flanges wouldn't work on my trailer. On each side of the trailer I beam there are the jacks, a bottoming out scrape protector, and then the black water tank. These are all fastened on the inside. If the flanges could mount on the outside it would work. While they can be reversed, then they stick out wider then the i beam and are too far apart to attach the main body tube as they are now wider then 72". What I am doing is welding a 1/4: 6x9 plate to the main bottom tube and then will bolt this to the bottom of trailer i beam. If I can edit my review, I will attach photos of the issue for me and my solution after it is done. Overall, I am still happy with the product. It would have taken more time and money to design my own and then take it to a weld shop. If I was able to weld myself, then I would have built a custom hitch. 469590

Great add on to my Alpine 5th wheel . Can now haul the bikes using a hitch bike rack instead of hanging them on the ladder. The hitch looks factory installed. Love it. 554505

The receiver I ordered arrived ahead of schedule and worked perfectly! 567841

Hitch on time, box in perfect condition. Exactly what I needed for my application. 566125

Use bolts to mount to 2” closed channel frame. Had to purchase 3” carriage bolts as the 2” bolts would not work. Easy install, about 3 hours start to finish. 565713

Received my parts in great shape! Service was super FAST! I have bought several items from eTrailer and will continue buying from them any time I can. The service team is always very helpful! Thanks again eTrailer! 565151

Quality of product was excellent. Enclosed instructions were slightly different than the video instructions in regards to nut and bolt placement on the bracket tube mount. Went with the video instructions. Always pleased to do business with etrailer because of the great video instructions. Very fast delivery. Thank you Donna for your return call. 559527

The quality is great but it doesn’t fit all trailers had to do some modifications to make it fit. That’s the only reason I gave it for starters otherwise it’s a good product. 611657

I was asked to do a one year follow up review of the etrailer rv hitch that I purchased. I am extremely happy with it. I installed it on my Forest River trailer. It fit very well on this trailer. The hitch is made to fit a lot of different situations. I chose to bolt mine on instead of welding. My trailer is brand new and I did not want to chance any weld splatter, etc. It came with all of the necessary hardware to do either one. I installed it for two reasons. I was installing a platform on the rear of my trailer for the generator. In researching this out, there were two concerns that this would help eliminate. One was that the back bumper could not support the generator. I am transferring some of the generator load to the hitch. The other concern was regarding the strength of the frame. This also transfers some of the load further forward on the frame. I also cut a 1/4" plate to add thickness to the frame from where the hitch hooks on to the rear end of the frame. As noted, it has been a year with many miles of mountain roads and the hitch is performing great. It was easy and straight forward to install. I used an old 1/2" drill motor (large) to drill the holes. I use a bar and chain to create leverage on the drill motor so that a constant hard pressure can be applied to the bit while drilling. As mentioned, I plated the frame so had a 1/2" of plate versus the1/4" frame thickness. The project was done easily in a day. I did it myself (no helper). I am not as young as I used to be (62). I know the UPS driver and saw her a few days later. She apologized for unloading the package in my driveway because it was a bit heavy for her to handle. I just opened the package there and moved the individual pieces to the project site. It is well built and I am very pleased with it. I recommend this to anyone wanting to add a hitch without going to a weld shop. 610573

very well-made product! nothing cheap about it !excellent service!! 609543

The hitch I ordered came fast and in perfect condition. It looks to be very well made. The only issue is that I am missing two square washers, but that's OK because I have more from other hitches I have removed. The hardware comes in a ball of shrink wrap and I found two bolts and two washers loose in the box. That is why two washers disappeared. I will try to send pictures when I install hitch. 607363

Very fast service,quality ,instructions and bolt on . Everything I expected and then some. planning on using it with platform to stand 2 kayaks on our 5th wheel. 605011

Once again....Etrailer delivers! Shipping that is extremely fast....and a quality produc each time. Thanks so much for meeting my needs. 602855

Arrived as ordered. Very easy to read instructions. The pieces fit together well. The quality is great. Looks great on my RV. Highly recommended. etrailer.com was an easy to use app and customer service is the best 602373

The hitch arrived on time, the instructions were complete. We had to remove the undercarriage sealer. then drill the holes and place the bolts, it all fit perfectly. The basket has worked just as we expected, and it carries two electric bikes and a kayak. Very pleased with this addition to our 5th wheel. 601302

Product came early; brackets wouldn't fit my 5er (jacks welded in the way; not enough ground clearance for install using brackets). Found a welder to install it over bumper sleeve; it fit exactly between the frame rails over the sewer bumper. It's almost invisible, but supports my motorcycle without any problems. 599691

This hitch has a 350 lb tongue weight capacity, which means that the weight of the bike plus the carrier should not exceed 350 lbs. Given the bouncing that would be experienced at the rear of a towed camper, Id be leery of carrying a motorcycle on the rear of any towed trailer.

-- Mike L - 01/23/2019

This hitch was mounted on the back of my 5th wheel trailer, and it is very sturdy and I’m certain it will be very adequate to haul our bikes when we travel. 598867

Install the hitch I purchased from you I had to raise the bumper inch and half to make it fit and works great thx for a great product no issues what so ever also the bolt fishing tool was awesome thx again. 597607

I was going to install the hitch on my 2005 21 foot Ameri-lite trailer today. I watched your video on installing the hitch on a similar trailer so I had a good idea of how to proceed. Problem #1: The frame on my trailer is 2X4 box tubing. I believe the mounts are for a 2X6 box frame. I have about 1.5 inches of my side mounts below the bottom of the frame. Problem #2: It is a tight fit to get the drivers side frame mount in position because of the sewer dump. I had to remove the stabilizer legs to attempt the install. This was not a problem as I intended to replace them with jacks anyway. Since I never intend to tow double this is to be used for a luggage rack for my generator and other items. I believe for my purposes I can have a machine shop remove the 1.5 inches from the top so the mounts will fit the frame solidly. I will also have them drill a hole between the two already in place and remove a small portion of the left mount to allow for the sewer line. The rear bumper is light channel iron and I felt a bumper hitch was pushing my luck which is why I ordered this unit.?????????????????????????????? 595500

Very fast shipping. Good product 587822

These people are the best to work with and fast delivery. Thanks 580874

Built well, easy to put on. If I had to give any advice It would be make sure you have sharp drill bits will make job go faster if you are not going to weld it on I did a little bit of both. 576905

Well made product which should work for most trailer installs, but be aware that if you have a rear kitchen design as I did that your mounting options are much more limited. Having a grey water tank between the rear frame rails makes it impractical to use the mounts on the inside of the frame rails. I had to cut and modify both my frame rails and the mounting brackets that came with the hitch. Ended up with a nice install but without my plasma cutter and welder would be beyond most DYI people. In hindsight having a fabrication shop custom fit one would have been a much better option. 557832
