Trailer Hitch for 2018 Surveyor 247BHDS for Using 4-Bike Rack

Question:

Im trying to determine if the Curt Receiver Hitches 13703 will fit on the back of my 2018 surveyor 247bhds by forest river. i want to mount a kuat rack 4 bike and remove my stock fold down bike rack that came with the trailer. i was originally going to add a curt bumper hitch with the mount-n-lock safety struts, but I think a full hitch would be better. will this fit on my frame at 68 inches and can I mount it bolt on by myself? please help. thanks!

The Curt hitch part # 13703 can fit basically all frame designs that are between 22 and 72 inches apart so it will work great for your 2018 Surveyor 247BHDS by Forest River.

You should note that Kuat does not offer any of their bike racks as fits for travel trailer applications so you'd need a 4 bike rack like the Yakima LongHaul part # Y02476 which is as the ride quality at the rear of an RV is quite a bit rougher than a vehicle.
