Hello Locas, thanks for reaching out. The answer to that question will completely depend on the weight capacity of your bumper. The etrailer RV Bumper 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # e38HR has a 3,500 lb max capacity, so you will just want to make sure your bumper is rated for hauling at least 2,500 lbs and you will be good to go.
