Question:
I have a 2022 Forest River 296QBLE travel trailer. We would like to haul our generator 200# on the back of the trailer and need a recommendation on a frame mounted hitch and carrier. Or bumber is not rated to have any weight beyond the spare tire and bumper mounted hitches wont be compatible for the weight.

Expert Reply:
Best option would be a multi fit hitch like the Curt # 13703 which would attach to the travel trailer frame. This basically fits all frame styles as long as the frame is between 22 and 72 inches apart. I highly recommend going with a non-folding carrier for the best overall stability since travel trailers are a bit rougher than vehicles with the 24x60 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches # C18152. This has a 500 lb capacity and the Curt mentioned has a 350 lb tongue weight capacity.
