Box was ripped open upon delivery. Plastic bag of nuts & bolts was busted open & scattered around inside the box. 2 nuts had fallen out but luckily I found them in my driveway where the UPS driver had parked.

Perfect fit, very durable, solid heavy duty hitch.
I have had the hitch installed for over a year now and hitch has performed exactly like it should. No problems

Product has held up well, Very pleased with the durability and performance.
by: Larry C.10/16/2017
I was very pleased with the ordering process, the very quick delivery date, and the installation process. Although I did have to relocate my stabilizer jacks about 4 inches, this was no real issue. The hitch fit like a glove and I was able to install it myself. It took me a little longer than most others because I'm 68 yrs old and also have Parkinson's Disease. So If I can install it, I figure most anyone can. I've included a picture.
Thanks etrailer for a great experience.

Its been a year since I installed this hitch. Ive pulled my boat several times with no issues. Great hitch and also - NO RUST.
by: Beatriz05/28/2024
Unfortunately they are not very useful for me. I have it mounted on my enclosed trailer and it’s way to low to the ground when I put weight in it.
by: Roy03/08/2024
When I got the hitch the shipping company had damaged the packaging and lost ona of the parts. I got in touch with etrailer and they had a new part to me in just a few days. I love the hitch and couldn’t ask for better service.
by: Terry07/05/2023
I installed your hitch to my32 foot 2023 Puma without a hitch. The instal went smoothly. In about 3 hours. The only modifications were the length of the bolts. I had to install onto a 2x4 inch tubing. Then welding it to the rv. Thank you for all your help.

When hitch arrived the parts bag was open and a few bolts, nuts,etc were missing. Called etrailer and a new parts bag was shipped quickly. Fairly easy install on our 5th wheel. In pictures we haven't put the underside cover back up yet.
by: Tony11/17/2021
It is a perfect use for a mountain bikes dirt bikes on the back of travel trailers. Be advised that the hitch will sit lower than normal and may have some clearance issues over uneven terrain. It’s a 3 inch lift is used on the axle or an axle flip os performed, There should not be a problem. Also be aware that most travel trailers only have about a 3 inch width on the beam which will not allow the use of all four holes on the side plate mounting holes on the hitch. Using both the two lower side holes and the bottom two holes still should make the hitch plenty secure

Great quality! It wouldn’t have taken so long if we didn’t have to move the jack stabilizers first. I am very impressed with the look and feel of the motorcycle carrier as well as the adjustable hitch. Fit perfectly. Love it. My son is stoked.

by: Neil 11/08/2023
The hitch was easy to install. The hardware did not make it with hitch so it had to be replaced. The only issue was that the bolts were to short to install the hitch to the rv frame. Had to go get them local.
Customer service was great.
I suggest finding a way to attach the hardware to th hitch so if the shipping box rips like mine did the hardware stays with the hitch.
I will use etrailer again when I need something
by: Gale11/08/2023
I ordered the 13703 hitch for my 2019 Rockwood Mini Lite. Just for your information this trailer has the black tank in the very back. I had to put the bracket on the outside of the frame to drill the holes. There is no room on the inside and also need to use a right angle drill. There is also a piece of angle iron that holds up the belly pan that has to be cut off. It was a pretty difficult installation but I did get it done. I'm not complaining just thought I would let you know so you can pass on to another customer.
by: Michael 04/27/2024
Easy to install, does the job.
What I have come to expect from ETrailer

Install went smoothly, had to relocate the manual scissor jacks that are used to level the RV. Receiver hitch was heavy duty with quality bolting hardware included.

2015 Heartland RV Bighorn Fifth Wheel
I received my order today, and from the look of the box I figured there was stuff missing. I was correct after looking in the box through its many holes The only thing in the box was the receiver bar, no plates to attach or other parts needed to install.

The hitch has held up very well with one exception one of the bolts that holds the receiver bar from moving left to right sheered off so I have to install a new bolt before I use it gain.
by: TimH.08/21/2019
Overall I am satisfied with the receiver hitch. I faced a few challenges installing the hitch. Mostly to due with the location of the bolt holes and the width of the lock nuts. I had to trim the lock nuts to clear the available space. It was an exercise of trial and error. I use the hitch to tow my 2,300 lbs. 16' Deep-V fishing boat behind my 5th wheel. The receiver has performed perfectly.
by: Jon07/10/2022
Hitch showed up later than expected, box looks like it had been drug behind the ups truck, missing a few bolts nuts and square spacers which were lose in the box as the bag looks like mice had eaten it! Hopefully it’s a good product but I can’t install it without the missing pieces.

That is tough and I understand your disappointed in missing the hardware needed to install the hitch. I will have our customer service team reach out to assist.
by: Louis06/14/2020
Shipment was right on time and receiver hitch was high quality. I have 35' Sandpiper Fifth-wheel RV and was not able to bolt up right to the frame without removing the panel covering under the RV, so I elected to make an extension which is welded to the end of the frame. Receiver hitch was then bolted on the extension without any problem in no time at all.
by: Gwen09/13/2019
After figuring out how to mount this hitch on our camper it was evident that it would not bolt up to the existing brackets. We dropped the underbelly and ground off the brackets existing on the trailer and had a welder come in and weld the brackets that came with the hitch on the trailer! We are very pleased with the hitch. We are going to use it for our bike rack and maybe later something heavier!

- Can The Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch For RV's Fit A 74" I-Beam Spacing I pulled one of the Curt Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs # 13703 from the warehouse and measured it and found that the cross tube was approximately 68-3/8" in length. Knowing how manufacturers are I'm sure the intended size is 68" since the brackets have a 2" lip and both together would add up to 72". I'm sure if we measured multiple the actual length will vary from 68 to 68-1/2". The brackets are intended to sit flush up against the inside of the I-beams and have a bend...

It has a 500 lb weight capacity which will be more than enough for a bike rack and a few bikes.

In order to confirm we must recommend reaching out to the trailer manufacturer to see if and how much you can carry. If it's not rated or not high enough for what you need, we offer support brackets which will strength the connection between the bumper and frame.

While this hitch does have a 350 lb weight rating, if your bumper isn't rated for very much weight then it is still possible to overload your bumper even if you haven't gotten close to the weight rating of the hitch so it's best to check the weight rating for your bumper as well.

You just need to make sure your frame is within these specs and then you can weld-on or bolt-on the hitch.

view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2021 Lance 2285 Travel Trailer Capable of Holding 500 PoundsOn 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.

view full answer... - Hitch and E-Bike Rack for Rear of 5th Wheel CamperFor an RV approved e-bike rack the Hollywood Racks RV Rider part # HLY64FR would work great at the rear of your camper trailer. For a hitch the best option is the Curt RV Multi Fit hitch part # 13703 which fits frame widths of between 22 and 72 inches of all styles.
view full answer... - Hitch and Cargo Carrier Recommendation for 2022 Forest River 296QBLE Travel Trailer for GeneratorBest option would be a multi fit hitch like the Curt # 13703 which would attach to the travel trailer frame. This basically fits all frame styles as long as the frame is between 22 and 72 inches apart. I highly recommend going with a non-folding carrier for the best overall stability since travel trailers are a bit rougher than vehicles with the 24x60 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches # C18152. This has a 500 lb capacity and the Curt mentioned has a 350 lb tongue weight capacity.

This has a 350 lb tongue weight capacity. Or another option is a cargo carrier that was designed to fit directly to the rear bumper of the RV with the part # e99050.

view full answer... - Does Curt Multi-Fit Hitch for Rear of Travel Trailer Still Require Stabilizer StrapCurt no longer requires the use of stabilizer straps with their hitches so you do not need to worry about that requirement any more. The bad news is that your Kuat is not approved for use at the rear of a travel trailer where the ride quality is much rougher so we can't safely recommend you use the rack in your # 13703 but we do have the similar Kuat # KU84FR which is reinforced for the much rougher ride quality and would work great.

- Can the Flint Hill Goods cargo carrier be used on a travel trailer?Yes, the Flint Hill Goods 22" x 49" Cargo Carrier - 2" Hitch # FHG27ZR you were checking out will work just fine on a travel trailer. Typical cargo carriers, such as this one, don't have a rating or restriction for travel trailers, but it's still a good idea to keep in mind that it will have more vibration, wobble, and overall stress compared to on a passenger vehicle.

All the hitches we offer for the 2004 Ford Van have a 2 inch drop, so unfortunately your bumper would be in the way. Your best bet would be to either have a hitch fabricated or to have some fab work done to the underside of the frame to add 1 inch of drop so a hitch like the 14053 you referenced could be used. You, or your welder would be on their own to do the engineering work to ensure a Class IV weight capacity. If a Class III...

Since you still need to haul things you have two options; you can have a qualified fabricator strengthen the support for the bumper so that it can bear weight or you can install a frame mounted trailer hitch and use a trailer hitch mounted cargo carrier.
