Question:
This mount is sloppy and loose in the hitch. Unexpected for a piece with BW reputation. Any suggestions to make it fit tighter in the hitch?

Expert Reply:
Hey Thea, sorry to hear about the B and W Tow n Stow part # BWTS20066BMP not fitting super tight in your hitch. This generally isn't a quality issue though as it can be that the tolerances of the hitch it's installed in are too loose. You could measure the shank and make sure it's 2 inches vertically and horizontally or just slightly under that.
One solution would be to use an anti-rattle hitch lock with it like the part # 63232 as it will lock the shank to the side of the hitch tube.
