Trailer Hitch Solution for Grand Design 5th Wheel Trailer with Wider Trailer Frame
Question:
So you know if anyone has been able to use this hitch on a Grand Design 5th wheel? It looks like their frame might be 75 or 76inch . Do you know if any options for us out there? We are trying add a hitch to carry some me e-mailed we are getting. This hitch is the closest we have found but not sure it will fit.

We've had customers with similar Grand Design 5th wheel trailers tell us that their frame was too wide for the # 13703 to fit so we know this wouldn't be an ideal solution. If you prefer the frame mount style of hitch the best option we have is the Ultra Fab part # UF35-946403 as it fits up to 77 inch wide frames. It can't be used for any type of towing.
If I were you though I would go with the Curt # E-100 which easily installs by bolting around the 4 inch square bumper you have at the rear of your RV and has same capacities as other hitches mentioned except could tow if you really needed it to.
