Question:

I am looking for something like this that I can mount to my Airstream trailer A frame that can hold my 2 1/2inch hitch when I take it off of my tow vehicle. What size is the tube on this bracket?

Best solution we have would be a weld on hitch tube like the part # 337RT255808 which is the correct 2-1/2 inch hitch size. You'd need to have this welded onto your trailer frame in a location that makes sense but we don't have a custom install solution for your trailer. What you referenced is the wrong hitch size.

Believe it or not, the outside diameter of the Bearing Buddy is designed to be a bit larger than the inside diameter of the hub bore. Typically, a Bearing Buddy sized to fit a 1.98 hub bore will actually be about 1.986 in diameter, which means yours…

It does! I did some research and found out the Warn Zeon 12 winch has the standard 10" x 4.5" bolt pattern, which is exactly what the Bulldog Winch mounting plate has. So yes, the two are compatible, and the part number for the hitch…
