Video Transcript for Stromberg Carlson 2 inch Motor Home Hitch Review
Randy: Hey guys, it's Randy here at etrailer.com. Today we're taking a look at a Bumper Style Receiver Tube Hitch. We're going to work on RVs and travel trailers. This one's from Stromberg Carlson.Now this bumper mount receiver tube is going to be an excellent way to solve the problem of getting either dirty, muddy gear to or from the campsite, or getting some bikes. This is going to work out with bike racks. It's going to work out with cargo carriers.This is going to give you some additional capacity.
Or, if you don't like the idea of hanging your bikes off of your ladder to get up top, it can be kind of a pain to get the bikes up and on. This is going to allow you to use a nice Class 3 bike rack, and have it hanging on the bock of your inaudible 00:00:36. You just want to ensure that that is rated for travel trailer or RV use, depending on what your application is.Now, this gives us a 2" by 2" receiver tube opening. That's where we get the Class 3, or any accessory you choose to put in there. You want to be sure that's rated for Class 3 use.It's going to have a 200-pound limit.
We don't want to exceed that with whatever item we're putting in. You also want to check with the manufacturer of the bumper to ensure that it's rated for that weight. If not, go up whichever number is the lowest.Now, this has been designed to work with 4" x 4" bumpers, like what we have here. And also the 4 x 4-1/2. The only real stipulation to that is that it's a solid, continuously welded bumper.
It should have four sides on it, and there shouldn't be any gaps in that anywhere at all.Sometimes you'll see bumpers that look similar to this. But the back of them will be open. In that situation, this isn't going to be the one for you.Now, here we've got our 5/8ths diameter pinhole. That's what will be securing all of the items in the receiver tube with. You want to choose a Class 3-rated pin or clip for that.
There's also plenty of room if you want to do an anti-rattle device, or even a locking hitch pin. But the anti-rattle bolt here that is provided does a great job.As far as finish quality, it looks pretty much on par with some of the other ones that I've seen. I've seen cleaner welds and I've seen more complete welds on some of the other ones. But all in all, it has a really good finish on it. And I think it's going to do the job very well for you.Something else you'll really appreciate about this that we don't often see on all of the other ones. You'll notice now we've got our bolts in, holding our rack in place. But you can see it's got some movement to it.By using this bolt right here, we can tighten that in so it makes contact with whatever accessory we've got installed. And once tightened down, it's going to eliminate that movement. Now you can see with that tightened down, no movement or play here at the connection point whatsoever.Now to begin your installation process, you do want to find the center point of your bumper. We're going to use that to place ours. If you have a spare tire carrier, or in our case, we have a ladder back here, you can offset that a little bit if want.But just keep in mind, whatever cargo carrier or bike rack that you're going to be using, don't let that hang out past your camper. At least that way you'll have some frame of reference on where that's at.Now once you've decided on your location, we need to take our bolts. These are going to be dropped down through the top. Now you can mount this on the underside as well; that would be option number two. This is our first option. The only reason you're really going to do that is if your camper overhangs, and it's too low here. In that case, you would flip this over, mount it up here, bolts up from the bottom.Once our bolts are through, we'll place the plate on. And then onto each one of those, we need to thread one of our nylon lock nuts. Now we're going to take the play out of this. We're going to tighten this up so that our plate comes up to the bottom. We'll just get rid of that slack. We'll make our final adjustment then, torque it down.Now, for the head of the bolt, you'll use a 19-millimeter or a 3/4 . for the nut you'll need an 18. Now, we want to grab our torque wrench, same set of tools. But we want to get these torqued down to the proper specifications. You'll find that listed in your instructions there.And that's going to complete our look at the Stromberg Carlson Bumper Mount Receiver Tube.

This clamp-on receiver attaches to your 4" x 4" or 4" x 4-1/2" RV bumper and provides a 2" x 2" receiver opening for a hitch-mounted bike rack, cargo carrier, or other accessory.by: Bradley08/15/2022
The hitch is a perfect addition to my travel trailer bumper. I was able to slide over the spare tire and be able to set the hitch off centered in order to accommodate a bike rack. Easy to install and to move the bike rack from the travel trailer to the back of the truck.
by: Nick03/20/2024
Very well made product, but be careful what you load on it. I crunched the bumper with a 5 bike Thule carrier. There is nothing to prevent the bumper from collapsing on the front side. I ended up straightening the bumper and making a plate that sits between the front set of bolts and the bumper to prevent the bumper from bulging. I have not gone back to using the 5 bike Thule, have used a smaller carrier with one or two bikes.

Worked perfectly for mounting tv on travel trailer 4" square bumper
by: Tris07/25/2023
Good product for the 4” bumper on your RV/trailer. I used it on the rear of a travel trailer to carry a bike rack. Did the job, but remember not to exceed the total weight listed for your bumper. Prompt delivery was very important and etrailer.com came thru again (as usual). It is always a great experience dealing with them!
by: Tom04/03/2020
Nice heavy duty unit, welds are very good. I plan to use this to mount my grill on the back bumper of my RV. I made my own grill mount with a 2" tongue that fits perfectly into the receiver. I was going to make my own 2" Receiver, but the price was so good that I bought it from etrailer.com. I use them for all of my towing and RV needs. They price match anyone, even [big online stores]. I highly recommend etrailer.com.

Easy to Mount and works perfectly. And the order came quick and in great shape

I ordered this hitch on Sunday afternoon received it Tuesday afternoon delivery was very fast I hooked it up the next day on my camper before I did that I want to Fastenal to check to see if your bolts would be good quality bolts that would not break,they told me they were made of high-quality steel, I should never have any problem with them. I would definitely recommend your company and your product to anyone
by: Dan10/05/2023
Fit and finish is still good and hasn't failed yet!
by: Alan07/17/2019
Product was exactly as described, our Nash has a 4 & 3/8” square bumper (has an aluminum diamond plate trim cover) and this receiver fit snugly. Will work great for bike rack in between ladder and spare tire carrier. Once again, etrailer nailed it!

Working perfectly still! Thanks again Etrailer!

This hitch works great for adding a bike rack to the bumper of our pop-up camper. Very well made and solid construction. Install was easy by just tightening the four nuts/bolts.
by: Chris 12/01/2021
Just what I hoped for and the price was right. I'm using it with a carrier for a small generator. It seems to work just fine. I have no complaints

Great addition for using a small cargo carrier or back rack. I use mine for 2 purposes, first use is to haul my large cooler with our ice and drinks. The second use is after we get set up I have a raise platform to use my outdoor shower that is mounted right above to give my 4 legged baby a shower if he decides to play in the mud or such. The other good thing the way mine just happened to be placed, when I dont need it I just slide it under the camper and hitch it back on the hitch backwards underneath the camper. Makes it harder to steal or forget and its out of the way. Great product!! The only thing that would make this any better is if you could just pull a pin and rotate it underneath the camper. Im working on that idea for summer. Lol!!!
by: Dave12/16/2022
installed this on my camper rectangular bumper, and it works fine. Was easy to install, although i did have to install it upside down due to bumper clearance issues.
by: Scot06/12/2018
Works great on RV bumper. Carefull to not overtighten . I used a torque wrench to tighten but still managed to overtighten somehow. I knew I had overtightened when I tried to pull my sewage hose out of bumper it was stuck. Remedied by loosening nuts on bracket back off a bit. I have the 4 inch bumper.

by: Jim 01/10/2023
One must remember that this is only a bumber hitch. However, for it's stated purpose, I was very satisfied with the quality and sturdiness of the hitch.
by: Randy05/10/2020
Great Product and fast service. I attached this to the tongue of my travel trailer to store my trailer hitch and it worked great.

We recently installed the Stromberg receiver and are pleased with the strength and stability of the hitch. We are able to attach our bike rack and 2 E-bikes with no problem.
by: Donald08/22/2018
Very good workmanship,quality material and certainly stout enough to secure a bike rack. Only issue is the holes used to secure the receiver shank are to small and will need to be drilled out to allow the use of a standard locking pin.
by: ClassicDave03/29/2022
It is just what I needed to move my bike carrier to my RV. The first order came in with a part missing. It was shipped in retail box with just a label put on it and the base plate feel out. I called customer service and they were great, shipped the part right out to me. It was a pleaser to do business with a company that cares.
by: Gary 12/02/2021
I ordered the Stromberg Carlson hitch reciever for my RV bumper standard shipping. I got a email from George J. stating that he upgraded my shipping to exspress shipping. I was totally surprised .It speaks volumes about this company and there service and products. The reciever is heavy duty well made should hold my cargo carrier and generator etc with no problems. Will shop again with this company!!Thank you
by: Zip06/22/2017
I will use this to attach a bike rack to my travel trailer. It's simplicity and heavy construction is what makes it the perfect product. ETRAILER is going to have what you're looking for when maybe you didn't even know it existed. They maintain personal communication throughout purchase and delivery. Excellent seller.

- Wanting a RV Trailer Hitch to Tow Two Jet SkidooThe Stromberg Carlson 2 Inch Hitch Receiver, # BA-100, is not rated for trailer towing. I do have a solution for you. The Curt Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs, 22 to 72 Inches Wide, # 13703, can be installed between a travel trailer's frame beams.

view full answer... - Comparing the Stromberg Carlson # BA-100 and Swagman # S64025 Bumper Mount ReceiversThe only real difference, aside from the manufacturer, between the Stromberg Carlson # BA-100 and the Swagman # S64025 receivers is that the Stromberg Carlson fits 4-1/2" x 4" bumpers while the Swagman fits 4" x 4" bumpers. I have linked some review videos for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Will the RV Bumper Hitches Work On a 3" x 3" Bumper/FrameI do have an option for you but none of the bumper hitches like the Stromberg Carlson Hitch Receiver for RV Bumpers part # BA-100 we offer will work with a 3" x 3" bumper/frame, you'd need to get different bolts and fill the extra gap so this is not what I recommend. Instead, I recommend a standard frame mount trailer hitch, the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13702.
view full answer... - Recommendation for a Bumper Mounted Trailer Hitch for an RV, Trailer, or MotorhomeIt sounds like the Stromberg Carlson 2" Motor Home Hitch Receiver, part # BA-100 would be your best bet. This receiver will fit bumpers up to 4 by 4-1/2 inches. This receiver is designed for mounting accessories like a bike rack, and not for towing purposes. It has a 200 lb capacity. You will want to make sure your bumper is rated for this application and do not exceed the capacity of the bumper or hitch, whichever is lower.

However, we do have the Stromberg Carlson 2" Motor Home Hitch Receiver part # BA-100 which has a bolt hole spacing of 5" front to back and 5" side to side so it does sound like it would work for you although I am not quite sure of the intended purpose.

The Stromberg Carlson # BA-100 is a perfect fit as it is intended for RV bumpers between 4" x 4" and 4" x 4-1/2 inch with a weight capacity of 200 lbs. It features a 2-inch receiver opening with a plate measuring 6 inches by 6 inches. Just a reminder, this is intended for RV-approved accessories...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2005 Savoy SL Travel TrailerWhat I recommend for a bumper mount hitch is to go with # BA-100 which fits 4 x 4-1/2 inch bumpers. However, use a bumper mount hitch only if it is a square continuous welded steel bumper. If the bumper is not square, not continuously welded, and/or not steel, I recommend using a frame mount hitch. The most popular frame mount hitch that fits the widest variety of frames is # 13703. It fits box frames, C-channel frames, and I-beam frames. It can be welded on or bolted on. Welding should...
view full answer... - Swagman 4 Bike Bike Rack For RV and Campers with Different Sized BikesThis rack part # S80600 does require the bikes to all be a close wheel size due to the way it mounts to the bumper. I highly recommend adding a receiver tube to your bumper part # BA-100. This opens up your opportunity for hitch mounted accessories and allows you to use a more stable bike rack such as part # S64940. You can carry up to 4 bikes with a weight capacity of 35 pounds per bike.

This is made much better and will be more durable than some of the other models of receivers that mount to a trailer bumper. This will give you a max capacity of 350 lbs. Then I recommend the 20x59 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches # C18151. This carrier will fold 9 inches from your bumper so it should fit over your spare depending on its mount. The 20x60 etrailer.com Cargo Carrier #...

Some are able to handle a bumper mount hitch and others are either bolted or welded to the RV frame. If you are looking for a frame mount hitch and your frame width is between 18 and 51 inches I recommend part # C13702. This is a Class lll hitch and it has a 2 inch receiver opening. For a bumper mount hitch and if you have a bumper that measures 4 x 4-1/2 inches I recommend part # BA-100. This hitch has a...
view full answer... - Bike Carrier for 2 Bikes at the Back of a 5th Wheel Trailer with 1-1/4 Inch HitchThere are no bike racks for fifth wheel hitches compatible with a 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch receiver. You would need to add a 2" hitch like the # BA-100 that will bolt onto an RV bumper, or the more traditional # UF35-946403 which will weld onto a C-channel or traditional 5th wheel frame. Once you have a 2" hitch on your 5th wheel, you could use the RV approved Yakima LongHaul 4-bike rack # Y02476.

I have linked the installation instructions for you. If the bumper on your trailer is 4-1/2 x 4 inches then you can use # BA-100 but with these you have to be careful not to exceed the capacity of the bumper (if it is rated for weight carrying). Another option is the bike bunk # CC-275 which mounts to the front A-frame of...

Hitch # BA-100 would be a better fit since it fits 4-1/2 x 4 inch bumpers. All of the other options are either going to be 4 x 2 or 4 x 4. Also check with the trailer manufacturer to make sure the bumper is rated for use with a hitch.

It isn't so much the connection to the bumper that is in question, it's just the excessive up and down/side to side movement that occurs at the rears of these types of towed trailers/vehicles that creates added stress on the shank of a bike rack.

Getting ready to use this hitch for the first time since I’ve gotten it. This allows me to move by electric bicycle rack from the back of my truck on a 2 inch hitch to the back of my trailer when I’m ready to go camping.
