Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2021 Lance 2285 Travel Trailer Capable of Holding 500 Pounds
Question:
Im looking for a class 3 or 4 trailer hitch to be installed on my 2021 Lance 2285 trailer. Which hitch will fit that trailer as I do not want to use the 4x4 sewer hose holder. I would be attaching a bike rack or steel basket holding up to 500 lbs.

Expert Reply:
On a travel trailer like your 2021 Lance 2285 the go to hitch is typically the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13703. This hitch fits frames from 22-72" wide. However, this Class III hitch tops out at 350 lbs of tongue weight. In order to reach the 500 lb capacity you will need a universal Class V hitch like the # C59CR. This fits frames up to 62" wide so you will need to measure.
I have attached some review and installation videos below for your reference.
