Mount your bike rack or cargo carrier above or below your RV bumper. Hitch receiver constructs and tightens around your RV bumper using a heavy-duty retention fastener. Clamp-style design holds your shank in place to reduce rattling and damage.
Features:
Specs:
Note: Bumper weight capacities vary by manufacturer. Please be sure to verify the weight capacity of your bumper with the manufacturer prior to loading.
The HiLoHitch gives you the flexibility to mount your hitch receiver above or below your RV bumper. You can mount your hitch receiver below the bumper if your camper body hangs over your bumper. You can also mount it above to give your bike rack or cargo carrier an extra 6" of clearance to avoid scraping on uneven surfaces when entering or leaving parking lots or crossing roads.
No more loud, shaky rides and damage to your bike rack or cargo carrier. Unlike conventional bumper-mounted hitches that often tighten down the shank using set screws that cause instability and dents, the HiLoHitch has a unique clamping design that firmly holds your bike rack or cargo carrier in place to help reduce noisy rattling and avoid damage to your shank from rocky, bumpy rides.
The shank is held in place between a 1/4" steel base plate and free-floating pressure plate. The heavy-duty retention bolt is used to tighten the pressure plate down, creating a clamping force to reduce movement of your hitch-mounted accessory. The base plate helps distribute the load when the pressure plate is engaged to prevent denting and other damage. Shank locks in place with a 5/8" hitch pin and clip (sold separately).
Most bumper-mounted hitches use load-bearing fasteners, such as U-bolts, to carry the weight of hitch-mounted accessories, like a bike rack or cargo carrier. The bolts can easily dent your bumper if over-tightened and tend to loosen over time, causing your hitch to bounce and shake while driving down the road, leading to more damage on your bumper. This unique design was constructed with a retention fastener to firmly clamp the side plates and base plate around your bumper to reduce the risk of damage.

Jeff: Hello everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're going to take a look at the Mount-n-lock 2-inch, HiLoHitch for a 4" RV bumper. Now this HiLoHitch is designed to mount around your 4-inch RV bumper, giving you a place to secure your bike racks, cargo carriers and other hitch accessories. Uses a unique clamping hitch design, has a pressure plate and heavy duty fasteners that'll secure your bike rack or your cargo carrier in place. The pressure plates will distribute clamping force, reducing the risk of any damage to your accessory.
And it can be mounted with this hitch opening above the bumper or turned over like this below the bumper, either way. It is a nice safe design, eliminates common failure points such as load bearing welds and bolts. The retention bolt right up here reduces bouncing and shaking of your hitch mounted cargo, makes it very stable.You just tighten this half inch heavy duty retention bolt, and the retention fasteners at the bottom here once the bike rack or the hitch rack accessory's inserted. And that'll reduce any bouncing and shaking. This is designed to fit 2" or 1.25" bike racks or cargo carriers.
The hitch pin hole right here is a three quarter inch diameter hitch pin hole. Now it does include all these parts. Basically these parts will be built around the 4" RV bumper, and includes base plate, side plates, pressure plates, retention brackets, the retention bolt with the pressure nut, the face plates and the retention fasteners right down here. Has a nice set of instructions that'll take you step by step on how to put this all together. The mounting hardware is corrosion resistant.
These parts have a nice glossy black powder coat finish on them. They are made in the USA. Again, this is designed to mount around a 4" square RV bumper. The hitch opening it gives you is a 2" by 2" hitch opening and the maximum capacity on this, the hitch is rated for 300 pound feet of cargo carrier, which will exceed most full bike racks with bikes. But that should do it for the review on the Mount-n-lock 2-inch, HiLoHitch for a 4" RV bumper..

Mount your bike rack or cargo carrier above or below your RV bumper. Hitch receiver constructs and tightens around your RV bumper using a heavy-duty retention fastener. Clamp-style design holds your shank in place to reduce rattling and damage.Highly recommend this over the "Eaz-Lift 48473 Square Bumper Hitch Adapter for 2" Receiver" that wrecked my old bumper. This evenly wraps and tightens around whole bumper as opposed to a a couple pressure points that will crush and bend your bumper. I would recommend the safety struts if you aren't using an upgraded bumper.
The spare tire mount that came with our motorhome was not strong enough to securely hold the heavy spare tire. etrailer recommended the Mount-n-Lock HiLoHitch and the etrailerHitch Mounted Spare tire Carrier and the combination worked very good for us. My husband and I are in our mid 70's and we were able to do the instillation ourselves with the help of the enclosed directions and some online videos. The hardest part was lifting the heavy spare tire onto the carrier.
Fast shipping. Great packaging. Looks complicated when sorting out the pieces but the instructions were clear. Mounted easily and securely. No movement once everything tightened down. Exactly what I needed - extremely pleased.
This was an easy installation on the back of our 5th wheel camper. I use this for mounting my 1up brand bicycle carrier to the rear bumper. I haul two ebikes so the weight being carried is in the 80-90 pounds and have not had any problems.
Very happy with the shipping, rugged material and fabricated parts assemble and fit well. Many pieces and full concentration to assemble, pretty much a perfect fit to the 4 inch bumper on my 2105 303 RLS. I now have installed the support brackets (MNL 1SSNHD) and the Hilo Hitch and preparing a trip with the rv. I will fabricate and add a couple angle iron pieces to sure up bumper brackets to frame. Then safe for the 2 ebikes.
Just what I needed.
This will bend your rv frame and total your trailer. DO NOT USE.
Just installed this hitch today. Very easy assembly and happy with the design and the way it looks. Will update after first few trips with bike rack.

Great! Love this product. No issues at all.
Locks TIGHT onto camper bumper and TIGHT onto any attachment you slip into this receiver. No more bouncing bicycles!
Great product just as expected
While the item was of good quality and very well constructed, I was not able to use it in either the top or bottom positions. The configuration of my bumper and the trailer body was such that the unit could not be installed.
Feels very heavy and well built.
I am glad I spent the extra money for this. So much sturdier than those other mounts. Went together very easily. E-trailer was a huge help verifying that it would fit given the narrow space I had between my bumper and the trailer skin. I highly recommend.
Shipping was great.
This is awesome. I had a cargo rack that I modified to hold my generator and extra propane bottles. The cargo rack is a cheap one that was always a sloppy fit in the 2” receiver. This receiver took all of the sloppiness out of that plus I believe it will work with most random 2” hitches. I have not tried to remove the cargo rack yet but I hope if I need to it be easy enough. I am also wondering how it would do without anything plugged into it.
Easy to install. Bolt to tighten load does not hold load very tight. Side to side movement. Up and down ok.
Overall this should do what I bought it for.
Heavy duty (not wimpy) mount for our RV bumper. Using it for our bike rack. Super sturdy.
Shipping was very timely.
Haven't installed the hitch yet (upcoming weekend project). However, service was excellent. Website easy to use, and shipping a breeze. I put normal shipping and they notified me within a day that they bumped up the shipping at no extra charge. I ordered it with standard (5 to 7 business day) shipping and on 4/14 and it arrived on 4/17! Excellent experience!
Works as designed to attach bike rack to trailer bumper
good quality and looks to be plenty str ong.

went on a 4000 mile road heald up great with 2 bikes on the hitch
It's pretty reliable. I'm also a pieces and parts kinda guy, so assembly was fun.
Not only did I receive the Mount n Lock 2 days early, it came in a really stout box. The packaging was absolutely the best and the directions are extremely easy with high quality pictures. I recommend this company and their products to everyone.
Heavy duty. Great for a bike rack. So far so good
Beautiful hitch but unfortunately would not work on my trailer due to the trailer design. Not because of your product. 2022 Trailer

Just a reminder, be careful when going through a dip. We did this last year, the bike carrier drug on the ground and was pulled out of the hitch. A kind, honest individual tracked us down and returned our rack and bikes. That could have been a very expensive mistake.
