Hitch Recommendation for Fitting 4 inch Square Bumper of Travel Trailer for Bike Rack  

Question:

I own a 2018 KZ Connect 241BHK. Ive been trying to track down the weight capacity for the rear bumper before I purchase the E-100 but am not having any luck. My plan is to add the E-100 strictly for a Thule bike rack. Any idea what the bumper capacity is for this TT?

If the bumper is a steel bumper that is fully boxed I would bet on it being rated for the weight of a bike rack. Especially if the bumper attaches directly to the frame of the RV. That said, final authority on that will be the trailer manufacturer.

The # E-100 will fit a 4 inch square bumper but it does require you to use a stabilizer strap like part # 18050 when carrying a non-supported load like a bike rack. For a similar hitch that does not have this restriction the Ultra Fab # UF35-946402 would be a great solution.

You should note that Thule bike racks are not designed for use behind travel trailers so you'll need a properly rated bike rack. For that the Swagman E-Spec part # S94FR would be a great option.
