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.

All set up, ready to roll. etrailer got me everything I needed hitch to brake control. Thank you your customer service was great!



by:

good product, easy to figure out, many options, easy to install



by:

And again- another order delivered accurately and precisely as specified- thank you so much!



by:

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:

Got it, looks like everything is there, the box didn't hold up to well to the ups shipping, typical, a smaller box packed with foam and bubble wrap may work better



by:

I received the hitch on time and installed it with no problems at all.

Thanks!

Our hitch has worked great! We pull our Jeep Wrangler behind or class A gas motorhome without any issues.

Good hitch easy install just drill some holes and bolt it on.



by:

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.

Received quickly and was just what I needed to solve my storage needs. Looking forward to putting it on my 5th wheel in the coming weeks.

Worked great for the application needed.



by:

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.



by:

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:

Had it welded to the back of my pull trailer to hold a wire rack. Holds my camping chairs and dog enclosures, works great



by:

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.



by:

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:

Bought this to put on the back of my fifth wheel for bikes and the product is well made and instructions were good.



by:

Delivery was fast.The mirrors worked out great .Easy install on my 1967 Galaxie.Trans cooler was a pretty quick installation really good instructions.The trailer hitch required a bit of work but was definitely worth it ! I'm 70 years old and didn't have a difficult time with these products.Will definitely use your products again.



by:

Had looked for a hitch to fit a 36 inch plate on my converted bus/ rv. Found this one that is adjustable on etrailer.com. I ordered and received in great packaging. Very quick turn around from order to receiving. Thank-you!

We are very happy with the hitch, etc we purchased from you . Worked out well, and you folks were very helpful. Thank you!

Wish I needed more trailer parts, will use them in the future!

Very heavy duty bolt on application, just make sure you have 9/16 and 11/16 bits.
If not add another $35 to your project.
I Like it.

  • Hitch And Wiring For A 2007 Chevy Kodiak C4500 Bus
    For your 2007 Chevy Kodiak C4500 Bus I recommend the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver - 18"-51" Wide - 2" Drop - Class III - 2" Item # C13701. This hitch is a universal hitch for RVs. It is bolt on or weld on and fits frames spans between 18" and 51". For wiring I recommend the Universal Wiring Harness w/ ModuLite and Brake Controller Harness - 7-Way Trailer Connector Item # 22551. This wiring harness is a universal kit that provides the 7 pole plug plus all the wiring if you wanted...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver And Wiring For 2020 Forest River Heritage Glen 5th Wheel Trailer
    As long as the frame of your 2020 Forest River Heritage Glen 5th Wheel Trailer is 18" - 51" wide I highly recommend the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13701 which can be bolted or welded to the frame of your trailer and offers a 500lb maximum tongue weight and 5000lb maximum trailer weight. You will want to check the owner's manual of your trailer or contact the manufacturer to verify the maximum trailer weight your trailer can tow. Since you are planning to tow another trailer...

  • Frame-Mount Trailer Hitch for 5th Wheel RV with Maximum Towing Capacity
    We have both bumper-mount and frame-mount hitches for trailers that are displayed on the linked page. In general the frame-mounted hitches like # C13701 have higher weight capacities than bumper-mount hitches like # E-100. The trailer's frame width will determine which frame-mount hitch to use. The USA-made Curt hitch # C13701 is the highest-capacity option and it fits trailer frames from 18- to 51-inches wide. It has a 5K-trailer weight capacity and a 500-lb tongue weight rating. It...

  • RV Hitch to Fit Forest River Surveyor Sport for a Cargo Carrier
    We have several RV hitch receivers that may fit your Forest River Surveyor. We have the Curt # 13703 which can be welded or bolted to your trailer and fits frames from 22 to 72 inches wide. Or for frames 18 to 51 inches wide use Curt # C13701. Another style is the Curt # C13701 that bolts to a 4 inch square channel bumper on the back of your trailer.

  • Compatibility of Rear RV Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2017 Prime Time Crusader Lite 28RL
    Your 2017 Prime Time Crusader Lite 28RL trailer according to the manufacturer was not designed to accommodate the addition of a hitch to the rear bumper or frame. So they will not warranty the addition of the Curt RV Bumper 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # E-100 or the addition of a hitch like # C13701. You will need to weigh the risk when desiring to tow as most 5th wheel trailers and these hitch options would allow for that utility trailer with ATV towing or small aluminum boat. The hitches...

  • Front Mount Hitch Fitment on a 2020 Coachman Leprechaun with Chevy 4500 Cutaway Chassis
    Thanks for reaching out! 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. This will require you to trim the crossbeam of the Curt hitch as well as figure out how to fit it to your Chevy so if this isn't something you're comfortable with I recommend having a shop help you out with it.

    Since there aren't any custom fit hitches available you'll just need to pick up a weld-on cut-to-fit hitch like the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Receiver # 41990-07. This comes with brackets that provide a 7" drop but we also have a 16" drop available with part # 41990-16. The cross tube is 44" wide and both of these hitches have a 16,000lb capacity. You'll still be limited to the towing capacity of the bus though so you'll want to make sure that you aren't overloading...

    I do have a solution for you. With your 2019 Minnie Winnebago Travel Trailer model 2500RL having a hollow bumper, there really isn't a great bumper mount option to carry your generator. Your best option is going to be to add a trailer hitch using the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13701 if your frame is between 18"-51" Wide or the Multi-Fit Motor Home Trailer Hitch # 82201 if your frame is between 47" - 71" wide.

These will require drilling into the frame for bolt-on installation. You can see all such hitches on the linked page. It will be necessary to check along the vehicle frame to determine if there is enough space for the hitch mounting flanges. All of these options can be welded on and several also offer bolt-on installation...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for RV with F-53 Chassis Towing Tow Dolly with a 2017 Ford Escape
    The two highest rated trailer hitch receivers we have for RV's are both Class III hitches rated for 5,000 pounds gross trailer weight and 500 pounds of tongue weight. Curt hitches # C13702 and # C13701 are adjustable and will fit RV frames from 18 inches to 51 inches wide. You'll need to measure to make sure they will fit your RV's frame. The major difference between them is the # C13701 has a 2 inch drop. Both can either be welded or bolted to the frame.

For transporting your Honda Helix you will want the highest-rated RV hitch we have available, either Curt # C13702 or the similar # C13701. Both offer the same 500-lb tongue weight (TW) capacity but hitch # C13701 has 2-inches of drop in the receiver tube.

    We can help you select the items you'll need to tow your 2008 Kia Spectra behind your motorhome.

The Draw-Tite Multi-Fit Motor-home Trailer Hitch # 5350 will fit as long as there is 5-1/2" of height inside the frame to mount the bracket into.

On some trailers there will be components such as protective underbody panels, tanks or other structures that block frame access. On such trailers it is best to check with the manufacturer (using the trailer's VIN) for guidance as to where best to install a hitch and what their recommended installation method is for that specific trailer.

After you measure (or if you know what it is off-hand) you can use one of the following: - 18" to 51" Wide: Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs - 2" Drop # C13701 - 18" to 51" Wide: Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs # C13702 - 22" to 72" Wide:...

  • Can a Trailer Hitch be Installed on a 1976 Airstream Argosy to hold a 500 Pound Motorcycle
    Any trailer hitch used to hold a motorcycle and carrier will need to have a tongue weight capacity rating that exceeds the combined weight of the carrier and motorcycle. Curt hitch # C13701 is rated for 500 pounds tongue weight (the 600 pound capacity only applies to weight distribution) so if the bike weighs 500 pounds it would be overloaded. You would need to have someone weld on a hitch such as # 41991-16. This hitch is rated for 1,600 pounds tongue weight so it would not have a problem...
