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

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:

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:

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:

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.

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!

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.

  • Determining Which Trailer Hitch Receiver Fits A 2012 Jayco Featherlite Travel Trailer
    I would be happy to help! To determine which trailer hitch receiver will fit your 2012 Jayco Featherlite TT you will need to measure the width of your frame. If your frame is between 18" - 51" then I recommend the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13701 which has a 500lb tongue weight rating which would be perfect for carrying a cargo carrier or bike rack. If your frame is wider than 51" then you will need the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs # 13703 which fits...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2011 Heartland Landmark Grand Canyon 5th Wheel RV
    We offer a range of 2-inch RV trailer hitch receivers including both bumper-mount and frame-mount types. The bumper mount units fit 4-inch square continuous-weld steel channel bumpers and are suitable for use with RV-approved accessories only, but not for towing. They cannot be used on spot-welded or aluminum bumpers. Part # C19101 from Curt is one example. For higher capacity you can choose a frame-mount hitch like # UF35-946403 that fits RV frames from 47- to 77-inches. Other sizes are...

  • Ford transit connect 2010 Ford Transit Connect
    I have checked with available manufacturers but there is not a custom fit front hitch produced for the 2010 Ford Transit Connect. This will need to be a custom fabricated item or possibly use one the available adjustable type hitch receivers. This route will still need holes to be drilled for fitment at minimum, possibly welding and other fabrication required. We have the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver - 18"-51" Wide - 2" Drop - Class III - 2", # C13701. Adjustable Width Trailer...

  • How to Determine if Hitch Receiver Will Work on Cargo-Lite Trailer
    Glad the hitch for your Transit is working out, and we do have some options that are likely to work, though not a hitch specifically for a Cargo-Lite trailer. That said, all you need to do is take some quick measurements, just from middle to middle of the frame to determine a fit. From what I could find of your trailer, it is overall 82 inches wide, so the frame will be less than that, giving you a few likely options: - 18" to 51" Wide Frame: Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for...

    We offer several 2-inch trailer hitches that are suitable for installation on the frame of an RV. All can be seen on the linked page. 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. If ground clearance is not a concern use either one, but if it is a concern then use the hitch without...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver for Keystone Cougar 318SAB for Towing
    Since you will be towing, what you will need for your Keystone Cougar 318SAB is a frame-mounted RV hitch, and that is simply going to depend on the width of your trailer frame (the width is measured from inside to inside). 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:...

    We do indeed offer some hitches that are designed to bolt to the frame of your travel trailer. If the frame members on your travel trailer are between 18-51 inches apart, the Curt Hitch # C13701 would be an excellent choice, with it's tongue weight capacity of 500 lbs. For frame members between 22-72 inches apart, use the Curt Hitch # 13703, which has a tongue weight capacity of 350 lbs.

  • 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.

  • 2012 23 Salem Travel Trailer Hitch Availability
    Measure from outside to outside on the frame of your trailer. If it falls between 18 and 51 inches the part # 13701 is going to fit and work well. The part # 13703 we have found is the most universal as it fits frame dimensions that are between 22 and 72 inches and can fit most frame styles like box frame, C-channel frame, or I-beam frame.

    Hi Tad, Based on the dimensions you provided I recommend going with the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs, 18" to 51" Wide # C13702. This would mount under the frame with the receiver tube sitting roughly 2" below the frame. If you need an additional 2" (4" total) to clear any rear bumper/fascia then you can go with the # C13701 instead. These hitches fit frame widths from 18" - 51" and any excess can be cut off of the crosstube with a chop saw to fit. There are a few other...

Also, it is important to note that you should not exceed the weight capacity of your trailer.
