Question:
I am interested in a receiver hitch to go on the back of our 5th wheel RV. It is for a bicycle rack not for towing. The width of the I-beam frame is 70.5 inches outside to outside. There is almost 1.5 inches of horizontal flange on both sides of the vertical part of the I-beam to drill and attach a hitch. There is a 3 inch square tube for carrying the sewer hose on the back of the frame so the 2 inch receiver would have to extend at least 3 inches below the frame. The Draw- Tite max hitch on your website looks like there might be enough of the receiver to be below the 3 inch square tube and extend to the rear below the tube, but the widths available are not shown. Any help you can provide will be appreciated.

Expert Reply:
The ideal RV hitch for your application is the Curt Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs, 22" to 72" Wide # 13703. This is designed for I-beam trailers and will give you the 3 inch drop you are seeking. I've attached a video of the installation as well as a photo of the dimensions to assist.
