Expert Reply:
The Curt Trailer Hitch Support Strap, # 18050, was initially designed for use with vehicles that use Curt class I or class II trailer hitches. It may be possible to use the stabilization strap on a camping trailer assuming there is a strong lip for the hook of the strap to grab.
If your trailer has a bumper, then you may be able to attach the hook to a part on the bumper or the hitch on your bumper to secure the strap. I would not recommend attaching the hook to any plastic or fiberglass molding on the trailer because they will most likely break under the tension of the strap.
