Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a Trailer that has a 84 inch Wide Frame
Question:
The frame on the 5th wheel is 84inch wide. What hitch should I use?
asked by: Laverne
Expert Reply:
Your trailer has a very wide frame, there are no frame mounted hitches we carry that would work for you due to that width so your best option would be a bumper mounted hitch like the # E-100 designed to fit a 4 inch square continuously welded steel bumper or the part # C19101 designed to fit a 2 inch wide by 4 inch tall bumper.
This hitch is for use with RV-approved accessories only. All non-trailer loads - bike racks, cargo carriers and so forth - should be supported with stabilizing straps like part # 18050. Failure to properly support these loads will void your hitch warranty from Curt.
