According to Blue Ox, it'll take an experienced installer about 4 to 5 hours to complete the installation of their #BX1128 Base Plate Kit on a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The install isn't what I'd call super-difficult, but the installation…
Hey Frank. I can give you the dimensions of the shank on the B&W Continuum item #BW28FR but you're going to need to take the measurements on your Silverado 3500 to confirm the tailgate will open. From the hitch pin hole to the center of the…
No, it will not Mayra. The Universal Wheel Holder Kit item #HR89FR is designed to replace the wheel holders on the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes item #HLY84FR. This is a custom fit replacement part so it's not…
Hi Paul, you’re definitely on the right track here, and I can help you narrow this down with confidence. With your tandem 3,500 lb Dexter axles and 33 inch spacing, both the Dexter EZ Flex part #K71-652-00 and the Lippert Road Armor part #LC53CK are…
Hey Alexandria! Bike racks rated for travel trailers are pretty limited. There is quite a bit of additional force back there. This also means there are no 1-1/4" bike racks that will work. I have two different options for you. The first is to…
Hey Mark, thanks for reaching out. Yes, the ShakeStopper Heavy Duty 2" Hitch Receiver #MNT72VR can work for carrying e-bikes, but there are a few things you'll want to consider. The main limiting factor here is the capacity of your bumper.…
Hey David, thanks for reaching out. The ShakeStopper Heavy Duty 2" Hitch Receiver for 4" RV Bumpers #MNT72VR can absolutely work for carrying a few electric bikes. The hitch itself has a 400 lb capacity so that will be more than enough. The…
Hey Sharon, the better option for you would be the Fastway e2 part #FA92-00-0600 which is going to better match your loaded tongue weight compared to the system you mentioned. This has a tongue range of up to 600 lb instead. This would allow you to…

Hey Rob, the Curt hitch part #13703 is a great option for your 2009 Forest River Wildcat 285 RKBS. This fits basically all standard RV frame styles that are between 22 and 72 inches wide and also has more than enough weight capacity for what you plan…
Hey Danny, what you would want is the ShakeStopper Heavy Duty 2 inch hitch part #MNT72VR which has a 400 lb tongue weight capacity and was designed with heavier bike racks in mind. The hitch you mentioned only has a 100 lb capacity so it would not be…
Hey Travis! The right MORryde GooseTech depends on the pin box bolt pattern and GVWR of the Solitude 310GK. If it is a little older it probably has a Lippert 1621, I believe the newer models use the Lippert Rhino. You can ask whoever you're…
Set up a solid spot for bike racks or a cargo carrier with a cargo only RV and camper hitch. These are for accessories—not towing—and work well with frame-mount installs to handle gear like generators, scooters, or e-bikes. Choose weld-on for extra reinforcement or bolt-on for an easier DIY, and note that some hitches include hardware while others expect prepped frame brackets.
Yes, Cargo Only receivers can be either bolted or welded. Some list different tongue weight ratings depending on the install method, and some are not rated for towing. Check the product's install options, capacity notes, and whether it's cargo-only. If you prefer DIY, bolt-on can work; welding avoids drilling into the frame but needs a qualified welder.
Some include mounting hardware and some are intended for RVs already prepped with brackets welded to the frame. Verify if hardware is included or if existing frame tabs/brackets are required. If holes don't line up on your plates, plan on drilling with the proper drill and bits.
Frame-mounting is often the stronger choice for Cargo Only loads. Tube bumpers aren't designed to support much weight and can fail at the welds if overloaded. If you use the bumper, reinforce it and keep weight in check. Many choose to mount to the frame or add reinforcement for baskets, bikes, or a generator.
Confirm the frame width range and plan your receiver height for ground clearance; flipping the hitch can help. Adjustable designs can fit between the frame and under the underbelly, and you can offset to clear a spare tire. Use anti-rattle or lock screws to reduce bounce, and some bolt-on setups may recommend a support strap.
