Perfect fit, very durable, solid heavy duty hitch.
I have had the hitch installed for over a year now and hitch has performed exactly like it should. No problems
by: Larry C.10/16/2017
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.

I installed your hitch to my32 foot 2023 Puma without a hitch. The instal went smoothly. In about 3 hours. The only modifications were the length of the bolts. I had to install onto a 2x4 inch tubing. Then welding it to the rv. Thank you for all your help.

When I got the hitch the shipping company had damaged the packaging and lost ona of the parts. I got in touch with etrailer and they had a new part to me in just a few days. I love the hitch and couldn’t ask for better service.

It is a perfect use for a mountain bikes dirt bikes on the back of travel trailers. Be advised that the hitch will sit lower than normal and may have some clearance issues over uneven terrain. It’s a 3 inch lift is used on the axle or an axle flip os performed, There should not be a problem. Also be aware that most travel trailers only have about a 3 inch width on the beam which will not allow the use of all four holes on the side plate mounting holes on the hitch. Using both the two lower side holes and the bottom two holes still should make the hitch plenty secure

THIS IS POSSIBLY THE ONLY WAY TO PUT A HITCH ON A FIFTH WHEEL. IT FIT LIKE IT WAS MADE FOR IT. I USE IT TO TRAILER MY HARLEY AND IT WORKS GREAT. I AM NOT AFRAID OF IT FALLING OFF DOWN THE ROAD. GREAT HITCH!!!

Easy to install, does the job.
What I have come to expect from ETrailer
by: Neil 11/08/2023
The hitch was easy to install. The hardware did not make it with hitch so it had to be replaced. The only issue was that the bolts were to short to install the hitch to the rv frame. Had to go get them local.
Customer service was great.
I suggest finding a way to attach the hardware to th hitch so if the shipping box rips like mine did the hardware stays with the hitch.
I will use etrailer again when I need something
by: Melissa11/09/2019
Great quality! It wouldn’t have taken so long if we didn’t have to move the jack stabilizers first. I am very impressed with the look and feel of the motorcycle carrier as well as the adjustable hitch. Fit perfectly. Love it. My son is stoked.

I ordered the 13703 hitch for my 2019 Rockwood Mini Lite. Just for your information this trailer has the black tank in the very back. I had to put the bracket on the outside of the frame to drill the holes. There is no room on the inside and also need to use a right angle drill. There is also a piece of angle iron that holds up the belly pan that has to be cut off. It was a pretty difficult installation but I did get it done. I'm not complaining just thought I would let you know so you can pass on to another customer.
by: Dean G.08/21/2017
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.

2015 Heartland RV Bighorn Fifth Wheel
I received my order today, and from the look of the box I figured there was stuff missing. I was correct after looking in the box through its many holes The only thing in the box was the receiver bar, no plates to attach or other parts needed to install.

The hitch has held up very well with one exception one of the bolts that holds the receiver bar from moving left to right sheered off so I have to install a new bolt before I use it gain.
by: Jon07/10/2022
Hitch showed up later than expected, box looks like it had been drug behind the ups truck, missing a few bolts nuts and square spacers which were lose in the box as the bag looks like mice had eaten it! Hopefully it’s a good product but I can’t install it without the missing pieces.

That is tough and I understand your disappointed in missing the hardware needed to install the hitch. I will have our customer service team reach out to assist.
by: TimH.08/21/2019
Overall I am satisfied with the receiver hitch. I faced a few challenges installing the hitch. Mostly to due with the location of the bolt holes and the width of the lock nuts. I had to trim the lock nuts to clear the available space. It was an exercise of trial and error. I use the hitch to tow my 2,300 lbs. 16' Deep-V fishing boat behind my 5th wheel. The receiver has performed perfectly.
by: Patrick 04/14/2024
Works great! Wish I would have bought it sooner than pulling off the bumper.
by: Louis06/14/2020
Shipment was right on time and receiver hitch was high quality. I have 35' Sandpiper Fifth-wheel RV and was not able to bolt up right to the frame without removing the panel covering under the RV, so I elected to make an extension which is welded to the end of the frame. Receiver hitch was then bolted on the extension without any problem in no time at all.
by: Gwen09/13/2019
After figuring out how to mount this hitch on our camper it was evident that it would not bolt up to the existing brackets. We dropped the underbelly and ground off the brackets existing on the trailer and had a welder come in and weld the brackets that came with the hitch on the trailer! We are very pleased with the hitch. We are going to use it for our bike rack and maybe later something heavier!
by: Stan11/17/2019
This product is high quality and solid Well designed and fit frame like a glove. Easy for a do it yourselfer

2021 GMC Sierra 3500
I installed this hitch on a Vilano 320GK. It was listed as the same hitch sold by Vanleigh. The RV has plates welded to the frame to attach the hitch. The installed hitch had very little ground clearance. The RV shop modified the hitch mounting plates and bolted it directly to the frame. The hitch is well made, came with mounting hardware and did fit the RV. My issues were with the mounting provided by the RV manufacturer.

You'll want to use the other hitch you mentioned, the Curt # 13703 which fits frame members up to 72 inches wide which would work great on your travel trailer. The hitch would be compatible with the frame member you described. The hitch would work okay for towing a small boat as long as it doesn't exceed the 3500 lb towing/350...

A really popular option is the Curt Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch # 13703 because of how versatile it is. This fits frames ranging from 22" - 72" wide so you'll want to double check that your travel trailer frame fits in this category. For the bike rack side of things the absolute only solution I know of for your heavy bikes on a travel trailer is the Lets Go Aero V-Lectric FAT PRO Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes...

That said, I am not aware of any bolt-on trailer hitch which fits a 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" bumper so if this is what you have your only option is one that mounts to the frame, the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver part #13703. These options will both work great with a bike rack.

- Recommended Bike Rack to Use with the Stromberg Carlson Bike BunkI 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.

This would likely require some modification to both assemblies that would void the warranty. Also keep in mind that the original carrier on your trailer has a weight capacity of 300 pounds. Adding another tray and generator to it will likely exceed...
