We have great universal hitch options for you. Although, it depends on the measurement of your frame width on your 2016 Artic Fox 25W travel trailer. For some great options, I recommend either of the following:

- Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs # 13703
- Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13701

Both of these Curt-brand hitches include adjustable brackets for a bolt-on or weld-on application. For the # 13703, that hitch fits trailer frames between 22" - 72" while the # C13701 fits trailer frames between 18"-51". The great thing about the # C13701 is that it comes with an added 2" drop if you need space to clear the bumper. It also comes with a higher max weight capacity. However, with the # 13703, it fits a much wider range of trailer frame widths. To make sure these are compatible, I recommend measuring your frame from left to right.

If you need a great bike rack recommendation that is constructed to be compatible with a travel trailer, I recommend the Swagman E-Spec # S94FR. Not only is this rack engineered for brute strength to withstand the extra force, it also comes with an impressive 70-pound per-bike weight capacity. As far as compatibility, it is compatible with bike wheelbases up to 48" inches and bike tire diameters of 20" - 29".

For women's bikes, children's bikes, and step-thru frames, you need a bike frame adapter bar # 64005 for each of those bike styles. Also, if you have fat tires that measure between 3-5" wide, you need the fat tire cradles # S64679.

I went ahead and attached some great demo videos of these products for you to check out.
