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…

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 Robert. The MORryde GooseTech 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box item #MR47MV works with Lippert 1621 pin boxes up to 19,000 lbs GVWR. These are only a few months old so there's no word yet about MORryde making ones with a higher capacity. If…
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…
Hey, Joe. That's a great question. Backup cameras and rearview, observation, cameras are essentially the same, the difference comes down to how they’re wired. With a system like the Furrion Vision S+ Wireless RV Backup System #FR57AD, it’s…

In these days of customer "no service" I am usually disapointed when doing business with people I don't know. It was refreshing doing business with you. I'm impressed!
Mount a receiver to the frame for solid support when carrying bikes, a cargo basket, or even towing a small trailer. Choose between bolt-on options for DIY installs or weld-on setups when you want a permanent solution; adjustable designs can fit between frame rails and tuck under the underbelly. Confirm your RV's frame width and weight ratings, and use RV-rated accessories—some hitches include hardware while others expect existing brackets.
Both are viable. Weld-on options avoid drilling into the frame, while bolt-on options are convenient for a do-it-yourself install. Measure your frame spacing for adjustable designs. Plan for tasks like dropping the rear underbelly, marking and drilling holes, trimming bracket ends, or slight bumper cuts. Having a second set of hands helps during mock-up and lifting.
Sometimes. Receivers meant for RVs already prepped for a hitch may not include hardware and expect welded brackets on the frame. More universal, adjustable designs often include mounting hardware. Read the product description closely. If hardware isn't included, confirm your RV has brackets welded to the frame or plan for separate hardware or fabrication.
Pick a frame-mount when it fits cleanly. If welded square tubing for the bumper blocks the brackets or gets in the way, a bumper-mounted receiver can be the better route, or use a cross tube with custom brackets welded on. Check for welded box/square beam tie-ins, I-beam clearances, and any interference before deciding.
Match your load to the hitch and RV ratings, and use bike racks rated for RV use. For heavier items like a generator or a 250lb motorcycle, verify tongue weight. Check ground clearance and orientation. Avoid relying on a thin bumper alone—reinforce the mounting area or mount to the frame. Look for obstacles like stabilizer jacks, tanks, or bumpers that may need trimming or relocation.
