Hitch Recommendation for 2016 Forest River Shamrock for Carrying 4 Bike Rack
Updated 12/08/2020 | Published 12/06/2020 >
Question:
I have a 2016 Forest River Shamrock 23ikss. I want to install a 2 inch hitch on the rear of the camper. I do not want to install the hitch in the bumper. The bumper is not strong enough. I have seen a hitch drilled and bolted to the frame. What do you recommend. I am not going to tow with the hitch only use a bike rack for 4 bikes. What is your recommendation? Thank you in advance.

Expert Reply:
The best hitch solution we have for the rear of your 2016 Forest River Shamrock 23IKSS that attaches to the trailer frame is the Curt # 13703 as it fits the widest frame width range and also fits all styles of frames.
Then for a 4 bike rack that is RV approved we have the Swagman XP part # S64940 which would work great as well. Not all bike racks can handle the rougher ride quality at the rear of an RV but this rack was designed for it.
