Question:
Sir or Ma’am, Regarding the ShakeStopper Extreme Duty for Heavy-Hauler 5.3inch RV Bumpers - 2inch Hitch Receiver - 500 lbs Part Number: MNT82VR. I am needing a receiver on my Travel Trailer front bumper, to use as a “holder” for my Weight Distribution Hitch when not in use. My bumper is a Lippert bumper and it measure 2” x 5”. Please see the attached photos. Will this receiver fit my bumper? Can you recommend any other receivers? Thank You Jody

Expert Reply:
Hi Jody; the Mount-n-Lock ShakeStopper # MNT82VR is designed for a 5-5/16" x 5-5/16" square RV bumper. None of our hitches like this are designed for a 5" x 2". Assuming the bumper can handle the weight of the WDH, you could use the # MNT37FR which fits a 5" x 5" bumper. You will also need to add in a block of wood or other material to make up for the lack of width. Do not use this for anything other than storing your WDH when the trailer is parked.

Hey Jody, how did things go with using the ShakeStopper on your 2x5 Lippert bumper? Did the block spacer setup work out for holding your weight distribution hitch? Your update could make it easier for others with the same bumper size.
