Question:

In your video review of Curt RV Bumper Hitch - 2 Item # C19101, which is sold specifically for RVs, you say one should use the stabilizer straps of Curt, Curt Cam Buckle Stabilizing Strap for Hitch-Mounted Accessories - 61 x 1 - Qty 1 Item # 18050. All the photos you show with install of the straps have them in use with the rear bumper of a car or suv, not with the rear of a camper trailer. Where would you possibly hook these straps onto the back of a camper trailer? All your photos show the strap from the carrier to the trunk or hatch lid of a car or suv. So, my question is, if these strap are required , how can they be used with the back bumper of my camper trailer, to move support from the corner of the carrier up to a higher point on the vehicle, when a camper trailer has no place to attach such a buckle?

Expert Reply:

This is a really good question. So at one point Curt did require the stabilizer strap with the hitch # C19101 as well as others but recently they got rid of that requirement so with this hitch you do NOT need to use the stabilizer strap # 18050 with this hitch.
