Question:

I have a 2012 Keyestone Outback 298RE. It currently has a small 1 1/4inch receiver trailer hitch that is bolted directly to the right and left side of the trailer frame. I wish to remove this hitch and replace with a heavier duty 2inch Receiver. I find that my bike rack with the bikes on is too heavy for the current set up. Do you have a 2inch trailer hitch for my trailer?

Helpful Expert Reply:

We do have 2 inch RV hitches that can be installed on your Keystone. I've linked the selection for you.

The most universal and popular is the Curt # 13703. It fits trailer frames from 22 to 72 inches apart and can be bolted or welded to the frame. Once it's installed you can trim the body tube so that the ends are flush with the frame brackets.

Per Curt's warranty you must use a support strap, # 18050, when using this hitch to carry a bike rack.
