Will the Curt Adjustable Width Hitch # 13703 Fit a Viking Tent Trailer

You may be able to install the Curt Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch, # 13703, on your Viking tent trailer. Trailer hitch manufacturers do not test their hitches on specific trailers, so you will want to look at the frame of your trailer to determine if this hitch will fit.

This is a universal style hitch that will fit Box Frame, C-Channel and I-beam trailer frames that are between 22 inches and 72 inches wide. The top of the receiver will sit 3 inches below the bottom of the frame rail, so you will want to make sure that nothing will interfere with the receiver once it is installed. It can be welded or bolted to the frame.

With a tongue weight capacity of 350 lbs, this hitch should be strong enough to support your bike rack and bikes, but you may also want to contact your trailer manufacturer to make sure your trailers frame can support the additional weight.

I have attached a link to the installation instructions for you to check out. I have also linked an installation video that we made on an Ameri-Lite Gulf Stream Trailer with a Box frame.

Keep in mind, you should only carry a bike rack on a trailer that has been approved for use on trailers or motorhomes. The trailer hitch is much further away from the axle on a trailer and a motorhome which subjects the bike rack to excessive bouncing. Most bike racks cannot handle this excessive bouncing and will break. I have attached a link to all of the hitch mount bike racks that are approved for use on an RV or motorhome for you to check out.
