Question:
Hi, I have a 2003 36foot Holiday Rambler 5th wheel. I want to put a hitch on the trailer to haul my 450lb sport bike. I see the TW on your #13703 is only is 350lbs. Does that mean it wont work for my application? Thanks

We do offer a frame-mounted trailer hitch that may work for your 2003 Holiday Rambler. I recommend the Draw-Tite Class IV Weld-On 62 inch Wide Ultra Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # 41990-07. This is a weld-on hitch that will fit frames up to 44 inches wide. This hitch has a much higher rating at 1,600 lbs than the 350 lbs for the # 13703 you mentioned.
You will want to make sure the frame of your Holiday Rambler has the weight capacity for your motorcycle.
The motorcycle carrier I recommend is the Ultra-Fab Motorcycle Carrier for 2 inch Hitches, part # UF48-979033. This carrier will work with 2 inch receivers and has a weight capacity of 500 lbs. it also includes a 39 inch ramp.
When carrying something like a motorcycle on the rear of your trailer I strongly recommend using good support straps to keep the load stable and secure. I recommend using tie-downs like part # 317-412080.
