Recommended RV Hitch to Pull a Motorcycle Trailer  

Question:

Expert Reply:

Welcome back Bobby. So long as your trailer's bumper is reinforced to handle the weight, the Curt RV Bumper 2" Hitch item # E-100 will indeed work. This hitch has a 3,500 lbs towing capacity so hauling a 800 lbs motorcycle with a 5' x 10' trailer is definitely within it's capabilities.

The RV Bumper 2" Hitch item # E-100 is designed to be mounted directly to 4" square channel bumpers. It comes with all the required mounting hardware and will be a super quick install. I highly recommend verifying that your RV's bumper is rated for towing use.

To power the lights on your motorcycle trailer, you'll also need the 4-Way Curt Powered Tail Light Converter item # C59236 and the Mounting Bracket for 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # C42CR and item # C83DR to attach it to your RV.

If your bumper is not rated for towing, you'll need to go with one of our universal hitches like the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch item # 13703 or item # C13701.

What kind of Harley do you have and what kind of road trips are you planning on taking it? Feel free to answer this and throw in any other questions you have, where it says Add Comment.

Bobby S, I attached the Curt RV Bumper 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver to a 4" square channel bumper attached to the campers frame. I hook up a 6' x 10' trailer to haul a golf cart and a couple of 52 qt ice chests loaded with drinks and beer. The hitch has held up and performed better than expected. Levan

I had our bumper on our 2018 Keystone Passport reinforced top and bottom. We don’t tow anything with this hitch . Only use it to mount our bike rack to it . We have to pedal type by cycle , non electric . I personally wouldn’t tow anything using the standard 4 inch bumper that comes with the trailer .

@Johnn Thanks for that insight John. I appreciate you coming back and sharing it. Some of those bumpers are definitely not designed to tow even with the Curt item # E-100 hitch. Happy to hear it's working so well with your bikes and bike rack though.
