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.



by: 06/09/2023

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.



by:

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!



by:

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

Dena

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



by:

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.

Purchased this for a 1977 GMC coachman 24' Motor Home. Was not able to bolt on with out a bit of metal fabrication. Great product.

  • Trailer Hitch for a 2018 Salem 30 Foot Travel Trailer
    The most versatile trailer hitch for trailers and RVs is the Curt Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13703. It fits frame widths of 22 to 72 inches. Frame width is measured from the outside of one frame rail to the outside of the other. It fits box frames, C-Channel frames, and I-Beam frames and can be bolted or welded on (welding should be performed by a professional welder). I have linked the instructions and a video showing just one of the ways the hitch can be installed. You...

  • Trailer Hitch to Fit 2016 Clipper Popup Camper
    The Curt multi fit trailer hitch part # C13701 can fit trailer frames that are between 18 and 51 inches of all styles. In case you have a wider frame width than that we have the # 13703 which has a wider range of 22 to 72 inches. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.

  • 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...

  • Installation Method for Curt Adjustable RV Trailer Hitch # 13703
    The frame mounting flanges on Curt hitch # 13703 measure 12-inches front-to-back and 4-7/8-inches high (high, not wide, please note). These are intended to contact the bottom and outer surfaces of the trailer's frame members. The hitch will fit frames from 22- to 72-inches wide. My technical contact at Curt confirmed that drilling new holes or in any other way modifying the hitch mounting bracket could alter its capacity. Since no testing has been done on a modified bracket Curt cannot...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver With 2 Inch Receiver for Motorhome on Ford Transit Chassis
    We can help you out with a trailer hitch for your 2019 Coachmen Orion on a Ford Transit chassis, and while there isn't a spec drawing for the Draw-Tite # 75912, I can tell you for certain that it will not fit your chassis, as the manufacturer has directly specified this doesn't fit the chassis versions. What you can use instead is a multi-fit RV hitch made for multiple applications, it will simply depend on the width of your motorhome's frame. For a frame that is between 22" and 66"...

  • Hitch & Brake Controller Wiring For 2020 Mercedes Benz 4500 Sprinter
    For me, I always recommend using the Curt Echo # C51180. This is the most hassle free way to get a brake controller system for your setup. If you wanted to go a different route, I recommend using the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller # RED44FR because it takes up hardly any room and it's not an eye sore inside your 2020 Mercedes Benz 4500 Sprinter Van. If you do not have wiring already, here is a universal installation kit # ETBC7. As far as the hitch goes, after talking to...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 1950's Chevy Truck
    In regards to installing a trailer hitch on a 1950's Chevy Truck, the best option would be the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13701. The frame brackets are adjustable left to right so you can get a perfect match. The excess crosstube will then need to be trimmed off. It has a 5,000 lb weight capacity and it's made in the USA.

  • Hitch Availability for my 2013 Chevrolet Express 4500
    We have a solution but we do not carry a custom fit trailer hitch for the 2013 Chevrolet Express 4500. I have checked with the manufacturers and they do not offer an option. The Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13701 can however solve your problem. Theis is an adjustable hitch that you can attach to the frame of the Express 4500 to get a 2" receiver on the back rated for 500 lb. of tongue weight and 5,000 lbs. of gross trailer weight.

It has a weight capacity of 80lbs per bike and it requires a hitch with a minimum tongue weight of 350lbs.

  • Recommended RV Hitch and Motorcycle Carrier for 2011 Crusader 5th Wheel Trailer
    In order to use an RV-rated motorcycle carrier on the back of your 2011 Crusader 5th wheel you will first need to install a 2-inch frame-mount hitch with a 500-lb tongue weight (TW) capacity. Curt hitch # 13703 that you referenced is rated only to 350-lbs so it will not work for your intended use. The linked page will show you Curt # C13701. You'll first want to measure your 5th wheel's frame - outside to outside - to confirm this hitch will fit. Once you have a hitch in place you can...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 1962 Aloha Trailer with 3x1.5 C-Channel Bumper?
    There isn't a bumper mount option for that 3 x 1.5 inch c-channel. Instead you will need to use a frame mounted hitch like the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver - 18"-51" Wide - 2" Drop - Class III - 2" # C13701. This is a bolt on option that will work with Box frame, C-Channel frame, or I-Beam frame.

  • Adjustable Hitch Receiver for a 2021 Taxa Overland Cricket Trailer
    I have a solution for your 2021 Taxa Overland Cricket Trailer but The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item # 13932 is a custom fit hitch receiver for 1999-2007 GM fullsize trucks. That receiver will probably not fit on your trailer. I recommend the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C13701. This hitch receiver will adjust up to 51" wide so it will definitely accomodate your 46 1/2 inch frame. This is a class III 2" hitch receiver and has a 500 lbs tongue weight for your bikes and...

  • Frame Mount RV Trailer Hitch for a Frame Width Greater than 46 Inches
    When looking at frame width for hitches such as # 5350 the compatible frame widths listed are measured from the outside of one frame rail to the outside of the other. If your frame width is 46 inches inside to inside then this hitch will not work. The next step up in width is the one you would need, # UF35-946403, which fits frame widths of 47 to 77 inches outside to outside. We also have # C13701 and # C13702 that you could use based on the frame width you listed. So a few options there...

  • Curt Multi Fit Hitch C13701 or C13702 for 2019 Grey Wolf
    Looking at the rear of your 2019 Grey Wolf I would recommend the # C13701 over the # C13702 since it has more drop to fit lower than your rear bumper.

  • Best Way to Carry 67 lb Flyer M880 E-Bike While Towing a Trailer with a 2015 Nissan Titan
    Thanks for reaching out! The Thule Insta-Gater Pro # TH93VR is a great bike rack but like you said, the weight capacity is only 50 lbs so it won't be able to properly hold your 67 lb bike. While we do have a handful of other carriers that can be used in a truck bed, unfortunately they don't have much of a weight rating either so your best solution is a hitch mounted carrier that can handle that higher weight rating. The Curt Clamp-On 3 Bike Rack # C18013 will install on what you're doing...

    I reached out to my rep at Curt and was able to get a couple of options for you. Both of these are going to require some modifications because there is no custom fit front hitch available for your 2012 Chevy Express 2500 Cutaway Van. Your best bet is to use the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C13701. This hitch will fit frame widths of 18" to 51" you can either use the included hardware to bolt the hitch to the frame, which will require drilling, or you can have a certified...

Then you can use a cargo carrier like # FHG69ZR which has an integrated ramp. I've attached a video for you to see this carrier in action.

They both also have a simple bolt on installation. Using the carriers to carry your electric bikes can probably be done but there is no clear cut way to accomplish this.
