Question:

I’m looking for a class III 2 inch adjustable hitch to install on my 2015 crossroads reserve 27BH 5th wheel to attach a bike carrier to-Velocirax bike carrier. Per the bike carrier manufacturer the hitch needs to be a class III with a TW rating of 500 lbs. do you have a hitch that meets these specifications? The width between I beams is 68 inches center to center.

Hey Casey, thanks for reaching out!

We have some hitches that will fit your frame spacing, but nothing with the Class III and 500 lbs tongue weight ratings you're needing.

Your best bet would be to talk with your local trailer shop or RV dealer to see what they have to offer, but I'm also curious about the bike rack that you're using. Usually, they say something about a hitch class rating or tongue weight rating, but it's a little unusual for the requirement to be 500 lbs of tongue weight.

What bike rack are you using?

Thanks for your response Jon. The bike rack is a VelociRax 5.

@Casey Nice! How do you like the rack? I know those vertical styles are gaining popularity (we've carried some) but I haven't really had a conversation with anyone their thoughts on living with it.
