Trailer Hitch Options for Pop-Up Camper
Question:
Rv bumper mount receiver. I’m looking to haul a cargo rack on the rear of my pop up camper. The smallest I can find is for a 2x4 bumper. I have a 1x3 steel channel bumper. It is fully welded. Please tell me there is something for this application.

While we have a couple options for you to carry cargo with your pop-up camper, there isn't going to be a bumper mounted hitch that fits a 1 x 3 bumper as it is just too small. What you can do, so long as your pop-up camper has a box frame, C-channel frame, or I-beam frame is use a frame-mounted hitch, which is going to depend on your camper's frame width:

Keep in mind Stabilizing Strap # 18050 is also recommended for use with any accessories; I've added links to video reviews and instructions for you to check out as well.
