My 5th wheel box frame measures 73inch width outside dimension. Looks like i will need to have a hitch fabricated since the curt 72inch adjustable is max 72, no other options correct? Thanks

We offer the 2-inch Ultra-Fab hitch # UF35-946403 that fits trailer frames from 47-1/8-inches wide to 77-inches wide, measured at the frame's outside edges. This hitch welds on to either I-beam, C-channel or rectangular 5th-wheel trailer frames.
This hitch is not rated for towing, but for use with accessory items like an RV-rated bike carrier, such as the Swagman XC # S64650. The hitch has a 350-lb tongue weight capacity and its installation instructions are linked for you.
Please keep in mind that any hitch-mounted accessory carrier used in a hitch on the back of a 5th wheel trailer must be specifically rated for that application. Standard bike or cargo carriers meant for use on passenger vehicles cannot be used on RVs due to the extra stresses found at the rear of trailers. I linked our main page for RV-rated hitch bike racks.
