• Can the U-Bolts On the Ultra-Fab Motor Home Trailer Hitch Receiver Be Turned
  The Ultra-Fab 2" Motor Home Trailer Hitch Receiver part # UF35-946401 has a bolt hole spacing of 5" front to back and 4" side to side so it does not sound like it would work for you. 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.

• Recommended Bumper Hitch for a 1988 Fleetwood Yukon Wilderness with 4-1/4 x 4 Bumper
  I have a solution for you, but the Ultra-Fab 2" Motor Home Trailer Hitch Receiver part # UF35-946401 will only fit bumpers up to 4" x 4" . For your 4-1/4" x 4" bumper, I recommend the Buyers Products RV Bumper Receiver Hitch item # 337RVA24. The u-bolts will actually fit bumpers up to 4-1/2" wide so your 4-1/4" wide bumper won't be an issue. The fit will be tight enough that you would not have any play. It's perfect for a bike rack, cargo carrier, or any other cargo accessory. Keep...

• What Determines Cargo Weight Limit for Hitch Carrier Installed on RV Bumper Hitch
  The amount of actual cargo weight you can safely transport on a hitch cargo carrier installed in a bumper-mounted hitch is determined by the lowest-rated component. Those components consist of the RV's bumper, the hitch such as # UF35-946401 that is mounted on it, and the cargo carrier itself. The lowest-rated of the three items will determine overall capacity. If you have a 500-lb-rated cargo carrier like Curt # C18153 and install this in the 200-lb-rated Ultra-Fab RV Hitch # UF35-946401...

• Bumper Mounted Hitch Recommendation for a 2017 Starcraft Satellite 17RB Travel Trailer
  As long as the 4 inch square bumper on your 2017 Starcraft Satellite 17RB travel trailer is made of steel and welded its entire length then you would need hitch # UF35-946402 because it is the model for 4x4 inch bumpers. I have linked a video of this hitch for you. The combined weight of your carrier and the tote tank isn't very much but you will still want to check the trailer literature to make sure that the bumper is rated for carrying weight and. if so, the amount of weight it can handle.

• Trailer Hitch for 1995 Chevy G20 Van
  There is a hitch receiver that could work for your 1995 Chevy G20 van, but not a trailer bumper hitch. Instead, so long as your van does NOT have a step bumper, I recommend the Draw-Tite # 75121 hitch. This is a 2" hitch that is a complete bolt-on installation so there will be no drilling required in your Chevy's frame. I have added a link to a video of this hitch being installed on a '94 van for you to check out so you can see the process involved.

• Hitch Availability for Rear of 2010 Carriage Carri-Lite 5th Wheel Trailer

• Recommended Cargo Carrier and Hitch for Rear of Travel Trailer
  We do not offer a bolt-on cargo carrier, but you could certainly use a hitch mounted carrier. The first step would be to install a hitch like the Curt # E-100. The hitch is compatible with 4 inch square bumpers, and offers a 350 lb tongue weight capacity, which means that the weight of the carrier used plus the weight of the gear carried upon it could weigh no more than 350 lbs. Because of the extended distance between the rear axle and the back bumper of the average travel trailer,...

• Trailer Hitch Receiver and Bike Rack for Use on 2007 Jayco Jay Feather 19H Trailer
  The best hitch type for your 2007 Jayco Jay Feather 19H Trailer will depend on its construction, specifically its bumper. I checked the Jayco website for details about its bumper but no information is offered. So, you'll just want to check your owner's manual for information and guidance related to mounting an accessory hitch. If the bumper is a 4-inch square type then you can use a bolt-on hitch like the Ultra-Fab 2-Inch Motor Home Trailer Hitch Receiver for 4 x4-Inch Bumpers, part...

• Recommended Hitch Receiver and Bike Rack for Use Behind Trailer
  Starting with the hitch receiver for your trailer, if you indeed have a 4 x 4 inch bumper, the Ultra-Fab # UF35-946401 that you referenced is what I recommend. This is designed to attach to 4 inch x 4 inch square bumpers with the included hardware and U-bolts. If you are just looking to use the 2 inch receiver for hitch-mounted accessories like bike racks, this is a great option and it will work well. Moving on to the bike rack, the Kuat Beta was a really nice 2-bike hanging-style rack,...

  The best solution we have is going to be the Ultra Fab hitch part # UF35-946401 which is designed to attach to a bumper that is 4.5 inches tall and 4 inches wide. Since your bumper is narrower you'd need to come up with spacers to take up the additional width. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.

• Solutions for Towing Forest River Roo Travel Trailer and Carrying Bikes Simultaneously
  There are a few different options that might work for you. A towing bike rack can be a good option depending on the tongue weight of your camper. The Curt # C18013 used in conjunction with an extra long ball mount like # 2736 or # D-28 (choose the one with the rise or drop you're needing) might be a good option, but keep in mind that the tongue weight capacity of the hitch would be reduced by the weight of the rack and the bikes. For instance, say the three bikes weigh 100 lbs. The rack...

• Why Cant the Bumper Mounted Hitch Recevier UF35-946401 Be Installed on Decorative Bumper Cover
  The Ultra-Fab 2 Inch Motor Home Trailer Hitch Receiver # UF35-946401 is not designed for use on decorative aluminum bumper covers because the installation of the receiver and the weight of the accessory used in the receiver would likely damage the decorative aluminum cover. When the bumper cover becomes damaged, the receiver would no longer be installed securely enough on the bumper and could move while a hitch accessory is being used.

• Installation of a Ultra-Fab 2-Inch RV Trailer Hitch Receiver Part UF35-946401 on a 4-Inch Bumper
  You are correct. The Ultra-Fab 2-inch motor home trailer hitch receiver # UF35-946401 is designed to bolt around a 4-inch RV bumper and the receiver opening will be on the topside of the bumper. This receiver is designed for mounting accessories like a bike rack, and not for towing purposes. It has a 200 pound capacity. Make sure you do not exceed the weight rating of your RV bumper. So if the bumper has a lower weight rating, you will want to go by the lower weight rating.

  We offer two varieties of trailer hitch receivers for use on RVs, the bolt-on 4 x 4 inch-bumper-mount type such as the Ultra-Fab 2-Inch Motor Home Trailer Hitch Receiver # UF35-946401 that you referenced, and the higher-capacity multi-fit frame-mount type like the Curt # C13701.

• Dual Hitch Recommendation for Flat Towing Car and Carrying Bike Rack at the Same Time
  Sounds like you want to install the Ultra Fab Hitch part # UF35-946401 vertically so that the opening faces up instead of behind the RV. I can't safely recommend you do that since the hitch hasn't been tested in the orientation. A better option would be something like the # RM-077-4 that has a 4 inch rise built into it so that you can install the rack in the upper opening and use your tow bar in the lower one.

• Installing Ultra-Fab # UF35-946401 Bumper Mounted Receiver on 2 x 2 Pipe Bumper on RV
  When you describe a 'pipe bumper' do you mean that its round, or is constructed of square tube? If it's a round pipe, I wouldn't recommend attaching a receiver to the bumper as any tongue weight (downward force applied to the receiver) would rotate the receiver tube downward. If you're talking square tube, the Ultra-Fab # UF35-946401 wouldn't be your best option as the threaded portion is about 1-3/4 of an inch long. It wouldn't cinch tight enough, plus the spacing between the legs...

• What is the Weight Limit on Ultra-Fab 2 Inch Motor Home Trailer Hitch Receiver
  The Ultra-Fab Motor Home Trailer Hitch Receiver, # UF35-946401, was designed with the RV/trailer application in mind. As such the additional torque from accessories bouncing in the receiver was taken into account when the weight capacity of 200 pounds was given to the hitch. You might want to consider going with something rated a little higher, like # E-100, or # UF35-946402, which both have a 350 pound capacity, because with your intended load you will be getting close to the tongue...

  The Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount, part # D210 will not reduce the weight capacity of your trailer hitch. The # D210 does have a 7,500-lb towing capacity and a 750-lb tongue weight capacity so you will need to make sure you do not exceed those capacities when using this ball mount.

We have the Brophy Hitch Reducer, part # HT02, that will reduce a 2-inch hitch to a 1-1/4 inch size, because it is a sleeve design it will not reduce the tongue weight capacity.

• Is there a Bumper Mount Hitch that Will Fit a 4-3/8 Inch Bumper on an Arctic Fox Trailer
  Bumper mount hitch # UF35-946402 is designed specifically for 4 inch square bumpers so I cannot recommend it on a 4-3/8 inch wide bumper. 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.
