Will Curt Bumper Mount Trailer Hitch # E-100 Fit a 4-1/4 Inch Bumper on a Starcraft Starsteam 24QB
Question:
My trailer, a Starcraft Starstream 24QB has a 4 inch squar rear bumper but it has some type of decorative covering over it which makes the overall size slightly larger less than 1/4 inch. Would I be required to remove this covering or is it possible that it could fit over a slightly oversized bumper?

Expert Reply:
The Curt hitch # E-100 needs a 4 inch square continuous welded steel bumper to install safely. If by removing the decorative trim, you are left with a 4 inch square continuous welded steel bumper, then this hitch will work for you. Be sure to check the owners manual to determine if the bumper can be used for this application.
the safest option is to go with a frame mount hitch. I have included a link to the options for you. The most popular is Curt hitch # 13703 because it fits a wide range of frame widths, and a wide range of frame styles. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you.
