I've used Curt products before and this one did not disappoint. The packaging however was not up to the task. The box was open and I immediately started inspecting for damages and missing parts, thankfully the packer from etrailer completely wrapped the loose parts in reinforced tape and everything was there.

All set up, ready to roll. etrailer got me everything I needed hitch to brake control. Thank you your customer service was great!



by:

good product, easy to figure out, many options, easy to install



by:

And again- another order delivered accurately and precisely as specified- thank you so much!



by:

The hitch that we ordered was shipped the day of our order and came very quickly. The installation process was simple and worked very well on our bus. This gives us the capability to tow a small trailer to carry our luggage for the youth conferences that our teens attend throughout the year.



by:

Got it, looks like everything is there, the box didn't hold up to well to the ups shipping, typical, a smaller box packed with foam and bubble wrap may work better



by:

Well built product. Easy install, took about 1 hour mostly for drilling holes. Be sure you have at least 2 brill bits for each size required.



by:

Received quickly and was just what I needed to solve my storage needs. Looking forward to putting it on my 5th wheel in the coming weeks.

Worked great for the application needed.



by:

Ordered this to retro fit a Class III hitch on a '63 Willys truck. So far it works perfectly. Was able to attach it directly to the frame and not lose any functionality. Also ordered C45791 Hitch extender and won't need it with this setup. All parts were included and the install instructions were clean. eTrailer also did a great job of assisting with the order to ensure that it got to me as quickly was possible.



by:

I actually ordered the wrong hitch; however, gave to a friend that needed one. He likes it. I ordered the same hitch but the 71 or 72 inch span. Had to customize the mounting to the fifth wheel camper as the camper had electric stabilizers installed. Anyway, works well, tow an 18ft deep V boat behind camper.



by:

Had it welded to the back of my pull trailer to hold a wire rack. Holds my camping chairs and dog enclosures, works great



by:

Hitch worked out great. Mounted it on the back of my 5th wheel. Use it to tow a Kubota RTV or my dog trailer.



by:

I received the hitch on time and installed it with no problems at all.

Thanks!

Our hitch has worked great! We pull our Jeep Wrangler behind or class A gas motorhome without any issues.

Bought this to put on the back of my fifth wheel for bikes and the product is well made and instructions were good.

Good hitch easy install just drill some holes and bolt it on.

Very pleased with this hitch, it fits my Thomas HDX bus with very little modification. only had to drill two additional holes in the frame. extreamly rugged and up for the job.



by:

Delivery was fast.The mirrors worked out great .Easy install on my 1967 Galaxie.Trans cooler was a pretty quick installation really good instructions.The trailer hitch required a bit of work but was definitely worth it ! I'm 70 years old and didn't have a difficult time with these products.Will definitely use your products again.

Had looked for a hitch to fit a 36 inch plate on my converted bus/ rv. Found this one that is adjustable on etrailer.com. I ordered and received in great packaging. Very quick turn around from order to receiving. Thank-you!

Very heavy duty bolt on application, just make sure you have 9/16 and 11/16 bits.
If not add another $35 to your project.
I Like it.

  • Trailer Hitch to Carry Motorcycle for 1989 Collins/E-350 School Bus
    It's tough to tell from your picture which part of the frame I'm looking at, so if you can provide me with some more information on if that is a picture of the rear of the bus and those points on the frame are where you're mounting, I can give you an answer with 100% certainty. The Draw-Tite Multi-Fit Motor-home Trailer Hitch # 5350 will fit as long as there is 5-1/2" of height inside the frame to mount the bracket into. The one thing that worries me with the Draw-Tite hitch is that there...

    The Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs, 18" to 51" Wide # C13702 or the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver - 18"-51" Wide - 2" Drop - Class III - 2" # C13701 are going to be the best option for your 2012 Keystone Alpine 300RE 5th Wheel. These are both rated for 5,000 lbs towing capacity or 6,000 lbs when using weight distribution which it sounds like will be more than enough for your needs.

  • Hitch for 1992 Toyota Hiace IH113
    I don't think an exact fit hitch is sold in the USA for your Toyota Hiace. You should take a look at the Curt # C13701 adjustable hitch. This hitch can be adjusted for width and then welded or bolted onto an existing frame. I have attached a video review of this product.

  • Bolt On Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2015 Ram Promaster 2500 Extended Body with Knapheide KUV Body
    Your best option for your Knapheide KUV Body is to use an RV hitch that can bolt on as there are not custom fit options for your application from any of our manufacturers due to the extended wheel base. I recommend the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs, 18" to 51" Wide # C13702 or the 2 inch drop # C13701.

Either option will provide you with a 2" hitch that has a 500 lbs. tongue weight capacity and 5,000 lb. gross trailer weight capacity. Towing your boat behind your 2011 Forest River Wildcat would be an example of triple towing which is not recommended...

Your weight distribution system needs to be in the middle range of the system ideally for the total tongue weight.

    Thanks for the picture, and the measurements! I took a look at your bumper, and it doesn't appear that the Mount-n-Lock GennyGo Generator and Cargo Carrier for RV Bumpers # MNT54FR will be a good fit for you. This cargo carrier will fit square and rectangular RV bumpers with a maximum depth of 6", and since you mentioned that your bumper is a notch over 7", this will not work. The best option I can offer for you, is to use a hitch mounted cargo carrier like the 22-1/2x49 Curt Cargo Carrier...

  • Trailer Hitch for Use on 2011 Country Cruiser Camper to Pull Small Utility Trailer for Golf Cart
    We offer two types of trailer hitch for use on the back of a trailer, bumper-mount and frame-mount. A bumper-mount hitch like Ultra-Fab # UF35-946402 bolts on to your 4 x 4-inch continuously-welded bumper with included U-bolt hardware and provides a 2-inch receiver opening for use with accessory items like a bike rack or for light towing. An example of a frame-mount hitch is Curt's Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch # C13701 that fits to trailer frame widths from 18- to 51-inches. All such...

  • Can a Small Duck Boat Be Pulled Behind a 2022 Forest River Work and Play Toy Hauler
    In most states double towing (towing one trailer behind another) is illegal so you will want to ensure that it is legal in the state you live in and any state you plan to travel in. You will also want to check with Forest River to ensure that the bumper/frame is rated for pulling a trailer and that you won't be voiding any warranties. That being said, if that all checks out then you would definitely want to go with a frame mounted hitch and not a bumper mounted hitch. If the frame members...

  • Front Mount Hitch Fitment on a 2020 Coachman Leprechaun with Chevy 4500 Cutaway Chassis
    Thanks for reaching out! While I do have a possible solution for you, there aren't any custom fit front mount hitches designed for your 2019 Chevy 4500 Cutaway Chassis so for your application you'll need to use an adjustable hitch like the Curt # C13701. This will require you to trim the crossbeam of the Curt hitch as well as figure out how to fit it to your Chevy so if this isn't something you're comfortable with I recommend having a shop help you out with it.

I recommend the Curt Adjustable Class III, part # C13701. It adjusts from 18" to 51" and mounts to box frames, C-channel frames, or I-beam frames. It has a 2" receiver and can be bolted or welded on. I've linked to a video review of this below. As for your bike rack, I was unable to find out if yours is compatible...

  • Recommended Bike Rack To Carry 2-4 Bikes On a 5th Wheel
    The bike rack I recommend for a 5th wheel for carrying between 2 and 4 bikes is the Swagman 4 Bike Carrier RV Mounted Bike Rack part # S80600 because it attached directly to a standard 4" x 4" rear square bumper without a hitch required which usually requires cutting and drilling.

To add a 4-way connector to your 5th wheel trailer to power the the trailer lights on your small utility trailer you will want the 4-Pole Hardwire Kit with Circuit Tester # 18252.

    Your 2017 Prime Time Crusader Lite 28RL trailer according to the manufacturer was not designed to accommodate the addition of a hitch to the rear bumper or frame. So they will not warranty the addition of the Curt RV Bumper 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # E-100 or the addition of a hitch like # C13701.

    While the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13701 is designed to attach to trailers it is a 2" receiver tube opening. I do not have any adjustable width hitch with an 1 1/4" opening. I strongly recommend checking with the trailer manufacturer to ensure what kind of weight capacity the trailer may have at the rear and use their recommendation as your maximum capacity.

This hitch fits 18"-51" wide vehicle frames and features a 2" drop and a 2" receiver which fits basically anything you'll be putting at the front of your vehicle. Aside from this you'll have to take your vehicle to a shop and have them custom fabricate something for your vehicle.
