Note: Bumper weight capacities vary by manufacturer. Please be sure to verify the weight capacity of your bumper with the manufacturer prior to loading.
The ShakeStopper gives you the flexibility to mount your hitch above or below your RV bumper. You can mount your hitch receiver below the bumper if your camper body hangs over your bumper. You can also mount it above to give your bike rack or cargo carrier an extra 6" of clearance to avoid scraping on uneven surfaces when entering or leaving parking lots or crossing roads.
No more loud, shaky rides and damage to your bike rack or cargo carrier. Unlike conventional bumper-mounted hitches that often tighten down the shank using set screws that cause instability and dents, the ShakeStopper has a unique clamping design that firmly holds your bike rack or cargo carrier in place to help reduce noisy rattling and avoid damage to your shank from rocky, bumpy rides.
The shank is held in place between a 1/4" steel base plate and the free-floating pressure plates. The heavy-duty retention bolt are used to tighten the pressure plates down, creating a clamping force to reduce movement of your hitch-mounted accessory. The base plate helps distribute the load when the pressure plates are engaged to prevent denting and other damage. Shank locks in place with a 5/8" hitch pin and clip (sold separately).
Most bumper-mounted hitches use load-bearing fasteners, such as U-bolts, to carry the weight of hitch-mounted accessories, like a bike rack or cargo carrier. The bolts can easily dent your bumper if over-tightened and tend to loosen over time, causing your hitch to bounce and shake while driving down the road, leading to more damage on your bumper. This unique design was constructed with a retention fastener to firmly clamp the side plates and base plate around your bumper to reduce the risk of damage.

Hello everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today I'm gonna take a look at this Mount-n-Lock ShakeStopper with the two-inch hitch receiver for the 5.3 inch RV bumpers, has a 400 pound weight capacity. Now this ShakeStopper bumper mount two-inch hitch receiver will let you mount your bike rack or your cargo carrier either above or below your five inch by five inch RV bumper. Just to show you what we're talking about I'm gonna pop up an insert and you can see with it either mounted above your bumper or if you flip it around you can mount it below. You can mount the hitch below the bumper if your camper body is hanging over your bumper.
And you can also mount it above to give your bike rack or cargo carrier an extra six inches of clearance to avoid scraping on uneven surfaces when you're entering or leaving a parking lot or crossing roads. Now the hitch receiver constructs and tightens around your RV bumper using a heavy duty retention fastener right here at the top. There's no drilling required. The plates and the hardware all included to install this. Comes with a nice set of instructions with pictures shows how everything installs.
It is a clamp style design. This will hold your shank in place to reduce rattling and damage to the shank. The retention bolt will tighten the pressure plates down to reduce bouncing and shaking. The base plate helps distribute the load when the two pressure plates are engaged to prevent any dents to your bumper. And it does eliminate the common failure points caused by load bearing welds or bolts.
It is a durable steel construction with a nice black coated finish to resist rust and corrosion. It is made in the USA. Few specs again, it fits five inch by five inch square RV bumpers. Overall dimension of this part itself is gonna be about 10 1/4 inches tall, 5 inches wide, and about 5 3/4 inches deep. Maximum capacity on this dimension is 400 pounds when it's evenly distributed, and the weight on this is only about nine pounds.
One note I do wanna mention, the bumper weight capacities do vary by manufacturer so you wanna be sure to verify the weight capacity of your bumper with the manufacturer prior to loading it down. But that should do it for the review on this Mount-n-Lock ShakeStopper with the two inch hitch receiver for 5.3 inch RV bumpers.

Mount your bike rack or cargo carrier above or below your RV bumper. Hitch receiver constructs and tightens around your RV bumper using a heavy-duty retention fastener. Clamp-style design holds your shank in place to reduce rattling and damage.E trailer always great to work with!
Awesome Product. Sturdy and safe.
Great for bike rack no movement easy to install
Worked perfect for the 5" MountnLock aluminum bumper. Heavy duty.
I had to deepen the notch on the two small plates approximately 1/8”, so the 2” tubing could enter the receiver.
I ordered for a 5” rv bumper. As advertised! This actually fits a 5.3” bumper. My bumper measures exactly 5” outside.
Highly recommend this over the "Eaz-Lift 48473 Square Bumper Hitch Adapter for 2" Receiver" that wrecked my old bumper. This evenly wraps and tightens around whole bumper as opposed to a a couple pressure points that will crush and bend your bumper. I would recommend the safety struts if you aren't using an upgraded bumper.
The spare tire mount that came with our motorhome was not strong enough to securely hold the heavy spare tire. etrailer recommended the Mount-n-Lock HiLoHitch and the etrailerHitch Mounted Spare tire Carrier and the combination worked very good for us. My husband and I are in our mid 70's and we were able to do the instillation ourselves with the help of the enclosed directions and some online videos. The hardest part was lifting the heavy spare tire onto the carrier.
Fast shipping. Great packaging. Looks complicated when sorting out the pieces but the instructions were clear. Mounted easily and securely. No movement once everything tightened down. Exactly what I needed - extremely pleased.
This was an easy installation on the back of our 5th wheel camper. I use this for mounting my 1up brand bicycle carrier to the rear bumper. I haul two ebikes so the weight being carried is in the 80-90 pounds and have not had any problems.
This works so great! We had an unusual bumper size and were in a pinch and confused and their excellent customer service taught us stuff and walked us through the process. SERIOUSLY great customer service and it matches their excellent products!
Very happy with the shipping, rugged material and fabricated parts assemble and fit well. Many pieces and full concentration to assemble, pretty much a perfect fit to the 4 inch bumper on my 2105 303 RLS. I now have installed the support brackets (MNL 1SSNHD) and the Hilo Hitch and preparing a trip with the rv. I will fabricate and add a couple angle iron pieces to sure up bumper brackets to frame. Then safe for the 2 ebikes.
Just what I needed.
This will bend your rv frame and total your trailer. DO NOT USE.
Just installed this hitch today. Very easy assembly and happy with the design and the way it looks. Will update after first few trips with bike rack.
Great product just as expected
Locks TIGHT onto camper bumper and TIGHT onto any attachment you slip into this receiver. No more bouncing bicycles!
I am glad I spent the extra money for this. So much sturdier than those other mounts. Went together very easily. E-trailer was a huge help verifying that it would fit given the narrow space I had between my bumper and the trailer skin. I highly recommend.
Feels very heavy and well built.
While the item was of good quality and very well constructed, I was not able to use it in either the top or bottom positions. The configuration of my bumper and the trailer body was such that the unit could not be installed.
Shipping was great.
This is awesome. I had a cargo rack that I modified to hold my generator and extra propane bottles. The cargo rack is a cheap one that was always a sloppy fit in the 2” receiver. This receiver took all of the sloppiness out of that plus I believe it will work with most random 2” hitches. I have not tried to remove the cargo rack yet but I hope if I need to it be easy enough. I am also wondering how it would do without anything plugged into it.
