  • Recommended Bike Rack to Use with the Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk
    I have a great option for you. When using the Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk Trailer-Mounted Bike Rack Carrier for A-Frame Trailers # CC-275 there are a few parameters you will need to stay within. The bike rack needs to be travel trailer rated, fit a 2" hitch and the combined weight of the bike rack and your bikes needs to be less than 100 lbs. Given these parameters I recommend the Lets Go Aero NEO2 2-Bike Rack # B01748. This 2 bike rack is the lightest weight of the racks that are rated...

  • Trailer Hitch for Jayco Fifth Wheel
    The Curt # C13900 will fit frames up to 41 inches but it isn't the best option for your Jayco Pinnacle fifth wheel trailer. There are hitches made for RVs that I recommend using because they are designed to bolt or weld onto RV frames as opposed to the aforementioned multi-fit hitch which is designed to be used on a number of different passenger vehicles. The most popular hitch for RVs is the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs # 13703 which will fit box frames, C-channel...

  • Recommended Hitch Receiver For Jayco Travel Trailer And 4-Bike Rack Application
    For your 2017 Jayco Jay Flight SLX 267BHSW travel trailer, I recommend the Ultra-Fab 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver for Trailer Frames # UF35-946403. This is a very nice weld on option adjustable from 47-1/8 to 77 inches. For a bolt on option, I recommend the Curt Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs, 22" to 72" Wide # 13703. The Curt model recommends the use of stabilization strap # 18050. The weld on options are nice because they don't require any drilling into your frame, but...

  • Mounting Plate Dimensions of RV Trailer Hitch
    The mounting plate for the Lippert 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver # LC240220 is 8 inches wide and 3-1/2 inches tall. It has mounting holes which are 2 inches apart on center vertically and 6 inches apart on center horizontally. I have added a link to a video review for you to check out as well.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2019 Forest River Rockwood Ultra Lite with Welded Bumper
    Thanks for the photo! I can now see the issues you are having trying to install a trailer hitch on your 2019 Forest River Rockwood Ultra Lite Fifth Wheel. That said, the brackets for the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 13703 and the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13704 are too large to attach to the square tubing used to attach your bumper and this square tubing would get in the way if you tired to mount the hitch to the frame underneath. Therefore the...

  • Trailer Hitch that Could Fit Keystone Passport Travel Trailer
    The Curt hitch part # 13703 that you referenced is the best option for a hitch to fit your Keystone Passport. This hitch fits basically all frame styles that are between 22 and 72 inches in width.

  • Recommended Receiver Hitch for Rear of Forest River Fifth Wheel
    I'd begin by contacting Forest River to ensure that the frame members at the rear of your fifth wheel have sufficient capacity to carry the weight of the carrier and the scooter without damaging anything. If Forest River gives you the go-ahead, I'd recommend the # UF35-946403 hitch, which is compatible with frame members that are between 47-3/8 to 77 inches apart, measured from the inside of the frame. This hitch is a weld on application, and has a 350 lb tongue weight capacity, meaning...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch And Bike Carrier For Forest River R Pod
    I recommend first installing a trailer hitch on the back of your Rpod, and then a hitch mounted bike carrier. The trailer hitch I recommend is the Curt Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch, part # 13703. This will work with RVs that have a frame width between 22 and 72 inches. The hitch can be bolted on or welded on. The bike carrier I recommend is the Let's Go Aero VeeMe V2 2-Bike Rack, part # VME-V2. This rack is RV rated and has a weight capacity of 50-lbs per bike. This rack weight just...

  • Frame Mounted Trailer Hitch for Travel Trailer
    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.

  • Trailer Hitch for a 2005 Freightliner MT45
    While we do not have a custom fit hitch for your Freightliner MT45 we do have several heavy duty weld-on hitches that could work for you. I have included a link to all of them for you. Based on your frame width you could use # 41990 which is 44 inches long. Then for brackets you could use 7 inch brackets # 4907 or 16 inch brackets # 4916. If the frame is an I-beam frame then the only option is # 13703. Weld-on hitches should only be installed by qualified professional welders. I have...

    The Curt RV trailer hitch, # 13703, is adjustable to fit frames measuring 22 inches to 72 inches apart so your 68.5 inch frame width is within that range. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you to view. I have also included a picture that shows the mounting bracket dimensions for you.

  • Trailer Hitch Option for a 2025 Toyota Crown Signia
    Hey Ralph, at the moment we do not have any hitches nor an ETA for when we will get any for a 2025 Toyota Crown Signia. We do also have a universal hitch # 13703 which you could technically use as long as your frame is between 22 and 72" wide, but it won't be custom so you might have a bit more leg work to get it on. This hitch has a 2" receiver, a 3,500 lb capacity, and a max tongue weight capacity of 350 lbs.

  • Will the Curt RV Bumper 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver E-100 Work To Pull a Trailer
    The Curt RV Bumper 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver part # E-100 which is a fit for a standard 4" x 4" rear bumpers will allow you to tow a trailer up to 3,500 lbs. However, that is what the hitch is rated for and the bumper could be rated for less (must confirm with manufacturer). If so, you could install supports, the Mount-n-Lock SafetyStruts Standard RV Bumper Support Brackets part # MO22FR or installs a frame mount hitch, the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs part # 13703.

  • How To Carry Two Bikes And A Generator While Towing A Fifth Wheel Trailer
    I have another option, but unfortunately none of the cargo carrier bike rack combos are rated for use on a 5th wheel trailer like your 2021 Grand Design Reflection. Instead I recommend using a front mount trailer hitch receiver on your truck with the 17x46 Curt Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # C18145 to carry your 100lb generator. This cargo carrier weighs in at 28lbs, and has a 500lb weight capacity making it plenty strong to carry your generator. You will want to make sure you...

  • What Bike Rack do You Recommend for Transporting an E-Bike on a Truck and Travel Trailer?
    I have a solution for you. Any time you use any adapter like the MaxxTow Hitch Adapter # MT70032, you reduce the overall weight capacity of the hitch by 50%. With that being said, that will reduce your trailer's hitch to only 65 pounds of available tongue weight. Since the OnRamp # Y36FR already weighs 39.5 pounds, that leaves only 25.5 pounds of available tongue weight on the rack. This is extremely dangerous. We unfortunately do not recommend going this route even if you plan on further...

  • Best Weight Distribution System For Towing Open Range RBS 216 With 24 Dodge Durango Hemi W/Tow N Go
    Hi James! With 900 pounds of tongue weight, I recommend going with the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control - 10,000 lbs GTW, 1,000 lbs TW # EQ37100ET. Equal-i-zer has been in the business forever and makes some of the best weight distribution systems out there. This system will have plenty of drop or rise to keep your Open Range RBS 216 nice and level with your 2024 Durango, and has a tongue weight range of 600 pounds to 1,000 pounds, putting you roughly in the...

  • Trailer Hitch for a 2017 Winnebago Fuse on a 2016 Ford Transit T350 Chassis
    The available trailer hitches for the 2016 Ford Transit T350 are not designed to fit the cab and chassis/cut away models but we do have options that you could use. The most popular option is # 13703. It can actually be bolted on or welded on. Welding should be done by a professional welder. It will fit frame widths (outside of one frame rail to the outside of the other) from 22 inches to 72 inches. And it fits box frames, I-beam frames, and C-channel frames. It is rated for 3,500 pounds...

This hitch has the capacities of a Class III hitch.

  • E-Bike Rack Recommendation for 2021 Nucamp Tab 400 for 65 lb Bikes
    For carrying e-bikes at the rear of an RV like your 2021 Nucamp Tab 400 you'll need an e-bike approved for RV use like the Lets Go Aero V-Lectric FAT PRO Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # LGA77FR that you referenced. This rack has a 75 lb per bike capacity and can slide out for easier loading and unloading as well. Most e-bikes are not rated for RV applications due to the rougher ride quality.

  • Welding a Trailer Hitch Receiver to a Travel Trailer
    For a trailer hitch receiver for your travel trailer, I recommend the Curt Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs, 22" to 72" Wide # 13703. This hitch can be welded for a no-drill application as you stated, or it can be bolted in place. Bolting does require drilling, but does not require the prep and painting of a welded application so it will be less expensive. From start to stop to weld, it will most likely cost about 3-4 hours of labor. I assume the rate is probably 60-75...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2007 Kenworth T300
    Since you have a 34 inch wide frame, we may have something that could work with a bit of fabrication on your part. 34 inch wide frames (measured from outside to outside) is a very common frame width for cab and chassis trucks, so we do have options for those beyond the universal RV style hitches. I recommend looking at part # 41947. This hitch fits a 34 inch wide frame and has several height adjustments on the brackets so the receiver can be adjusted to a few different heights. I've attached...

    It is absolutely possible to install a trailer hitch on your 2006 K-Z Escalade trailer; it will only require that your trailer have a box frame, C-channel frame, or I-beam frame that is between 22 inches and 72 inches wide. Should your trailer have that you will be able to use the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs # 13703 which will can either bolt or weld onto your trailer's frame. This is a Class III hitch with a 2 inch receiver but please keep in mind it will require the...

    Hey Jason! Since you don't want to bolt one onto the bumper you can use the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs, 22" to 72" Wide # 13703. We actually installed this on another 2016 Keystone Hideout which you can see in the video attached below. The hitch has a tongue weight of 350 lbs which will be more than enough for your bikes and bike rack. If you need anything else feel free to reach out in the comments.

  • How do I Transport a Honda Grom, a Scooter, and 2 Bikes on My Class C Motorhome?
    As far as mounting your Honda Grom and your scooter to your 2019 Winnebago 22R motorhome, we unfortunately do not have a traditional bike rack that will work for the weight of those bikes. However, the best route is to use the Ultra-Fab Dirt Bike Carrier for 2" Hitches - With Ramp - 77" Long # UF48-979033. The Ultra-Fab is RV-approved and will fit motorcycles/scooters up to 500 pounds. In addition, the carrier comes with an included ramp that can be positioned on either end to make for...
