Recommended Motorhome Hitch With 69 Inch Wide Frame

Updated 08/21/2014 | Published 08/19/2014

Question:

My question is how much would it cost for bike rack receiver to be mounted on the back of travel trailer. My bike rake has 1.25 but could adapt to 2.00. Im thinking its better to bolt on the frame instead of welding. The width center-center is 69inch so just curious what the cost would . Thanks

We do offer a couple of hitches that will bolt to your motorhome frame that may work well for you. The price of the items we offer are listed on the product page below the product part number.

You mentioned that the frame measures 69 inches center-to-center so I recommend the Curt Adjustable Width Class lll Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # 13703. This hitch will fit RV frames that measure 22 to 72 inches wide and the heavy-duty brackets can be welded or bolted on for installation. The brackets will fit Box, C-channel, or I-beam frames. This hitch has a 2 inch receiver opening and has a tongue weight capacity of 350 lbs. I have attached a link to an installation video for this hitch you can check out.

Concerning the cost of installing the hitch, I would recommend a reliable local shop that is familiar with installations similar to this. If you choose to have the hitch welded to the frame versus having it bolted on, I recommend using a certified professional welder.
