Hello, is the only difference between item 13703 and C13704 the mounts? Interested in the overall length of the actual horizontal tubes without the mounts. Need to know if the wall thickness is the same for both. Thanks

The cross tube on the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs, 22" to 66" Wide # C13704 is 68.5 inches from tip to tip without the hanging brackets. It has a max weight capacity of 5000 pounds and a max tongue weight of 500 pounds.

The cross tube on the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs, 22" to 72" Wide # 13703 is 74.5 inches without the hanging brackets. Its max tongue weight is 350 pounds and max trailer weight is 3500 pounds.

The hangers themselves use quarter inch steel. The tubes can be trimmed down after install.
