Hitch Recommendation for 2003 Newmar Kountry Star Class A Motorhome
Question:
I need to install a hitch to the back of my 2003 Newmar Kountry Star. I believe I am about 71 inches between the I beams. Can you help me find a hitch to fit this. Thanks.

Expert Reply:
We offer both frame-mount and bumper-mount trailer hitches for use on the rear of a motorhome like your 2003 Newmar Kountry Star Class A. The bumper-mount hitch you referenced, Swagman # S64025, is intended for bumpers that are continuously-welded across their entire length. This hitch can be used only with an RV-approved bike rack. It cannot be used for towing or with cargo carriers.
The link provided will let you see all available bumper- and frame-mount RV hitches. For a frame that measures 71-inches wide we offer Curt hitch # 13703 which fits frame widths from 22- to 72-inches. Installation hardware is included. I have linked an installation video for you.
This hitch is suitable for towing use and if used with a bike rack for instance it must be supported by a stabilizing strap # 18050. it is a good idea to contact the coach maker with your VIN so that they can confirm hitch compatibility.
