Hitch Recommendation for a 2003 281 Keystone Cougar
Question:
We currently have a 2003 281 keystone cougar camper 31 feet long that has a bike rack in the back. We want to replace the bike rack with a receiver hitch that is capable of pulling a 2 place snowmobile trailer with 2 four-wheeler/atvs on it roughly 2500 lbs? just guessing. What would be the best hitch to go with? Thanks

Expert Reply:
As long as the frame on your camper is between 22 and 72 inches wide I recommend the Curt Hitch part # 13703. This hitch can fit Box, C-Channel, or I-Beam frames and it has a 3,500 lb total weight capacity.
You will need to check with Keystone to determine if the frame of your camper is rated for towing a trailer as well.
