Question:
Hi! I have a 2015 Lance 2185 travel trailer and I want to add a tow hitch to the back. It will hold a bike rack only. I have some images of the bumper and wondering what hitch I could use. I would ideally like to keep the hitch higher and not hanging down under the trailer much. It looks I can remove the bumper and use the C channels on either side of the frame. I also would like to get it to Arizona some time next week. Let me know what you think! Chris 415-450-0127

Hello Chris. If you want to put a hitch on the bumper of your travel trailer, I recommend the Stromberg Carlson 2" Motor Home Hitch # BA-100. This is designed to fit a 4" x 4" or 4" x 4-1/2" bumper and provides you with a 2" hitch receiver for your bike rack. This hitch can also be mounted to the top or bottom of your bumper.
If you prefer to go with a frame mounted hitch, take a look at the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13703. This can be made to fit virtually any frame between 22" and 72" wide and it can be bolted or welded on.

Hey Chris, how did things go with adding the hitch to your Lance trailer for the bike rack? Did the adjustable width or bumper-mounted option end up fitting the way you wanted? Your update could make it easier for others working on a similar setup.
