I've used Curt products before and this one did not disappoint. The packaging however was not up to the task. The box was open and I immediately started inspecting for damages and missing parts, thankfully the packer from etrailer completely wrapped the loose parts in reinforced tape and everything was there.

All set up, ready to roll. etrailer got me everything I needed hitch to brake control. Thank you your customer service was great!



by:

good product, easy to figure out, many options, easy to install



by:

And again- another order delivered accurately and precisely as specified- thank you so much!



by:

The hitch that we ordered was shipped the day of our order and came very quickly. The installation process was simple and worked very well on our bus. This gives us the capability to tow a small trailer to carry our luggage for the youth conferences that our teens attend throughout the year.



by:

Got it, looks like everything is there, the box didn't hold up to well to the ups shipping, typical, a smaller box packed with foam and bubble wrap may work better

I received the hitch on time and installed it with no problems at all.

Thanks!

Our hitch has worked great! We pull our Jeep Wrangler behind or class A gas motorhome without any issues.

Good hitch easy install just drill some holes and bolt it on.



by:

Well built product. Easy install, took about 1 hour mostly for drilling holes. Be sure you have at least 2 brill bits for each size required.

Received quickly and was just what I needed to solve my storage needs. Looking forward to putting it on my 5th wheel in the coming weeks.

Worked great for the application needed.



by:

Ordered this to retro fit a Class III hitch on a '63 Willys truck. So far it works perfectly. Was able to attach it directly to the frame and not lose any functionality. Also ordered C45791 Hitch extender and won't need it with this setup. All parts were included and the install instructions were clean. eTrailer also did a great job of assisting with the order to ensure that it got to me as quickly was possible.



by:

I actually ordered the wrong hitch; however, gave to a friend that needed one. He likes it. I ordered the same hitch but the 71 or 72 inch span. Had to customize the mounting to the fifth wheel camper as the camper had electric stabilizers installed. Anyway, works well, tow an 18ft deep V boat behind camper.



by:

Had it welded to the back of my pull trailer to hold a wire rack. Holds my camping chairs and dog enclosures, works great



by:

Delivery was fast.The mirrors worked out great .Easy install on my 1967 Galaxie.Trans cooler was a pretty quick installation really good instructions.The trailer hitch required a bit of work but was definitely worth it ! I'm 70 years old and didn't have a difficult time with these products.Will definitely use your products again.



by:

Hitch worked out great. Mounted it on the back of my 5th wheel. Use it to tow a Kubota RTV or my dog trailer.



by:

Had looked for a hitch to fit a 36 inch plate on my converted bus/ rv. Found this one that is adjustable on etrailer.com. I ordered and received in great packaging. Very quick turn around from order to receiving. Thank-you!



by:

Bought this to put on the back of my fifth wheel for bikes and the product is well made and instructions were good.



by:

Very pleased with this hitch, it fits my Thomas HDX bus with very little modification. only had to drill two additional holes in the frame. extreamly rugged and up for the job.

We are very happy with the hitch, etc we purchased from you . Worked out well, and you folks were very helpful. Thank you!

Very heavy duty bolt on application, just make sure you have 9/16 and 11/16 bits.
If not add another $35 to your project.
I Like it.

  • Mounting a Hitch and Bike Rack on the Back of a Pop-Up Camper
    We do have hitches available for campers like your 2019 Coachmen Viking LS Camper. These hitches mount to the frame, so you'll need to take that measurement into consideration. I recommend the Curt Adjustable Class III, part # C13701. It adjusts from 18" to 51" and mounts to box frames, C-channel frames, or I-beam frames. It has a 2" receiver and can be bolted or welded on. I've linked to a video review of this below. As for your bike rack, I was unable to find out if yours is compatible...

  • Does Using a Hitch Expander Reduce the Hitch's Tongue Weight
    Using a hitch expander like the Brophy Adapter, part # HTAD, does in fact reduce your tongue weight rating (carrying capacity) by 50%. The only thing you can do is upgrade your receiver to a hitch with a 2" receiver and higher capacity (assuming your trailer is rated for more). I recommend the Curt Adjustable Hitch, part # C13701. It adjusts between 18" and 51" and has a 2" receiver with a tongue weight capacity of 300 pounds. I've linked to a video review of this.

  • Forest River Cherokee Wolf Pack 365PACK16 Fifth Wheel and Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver
    What I think you are asking is if the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver, # C13701, will fit the Forest River Cherokee Wolf Pack 365PACK16 Fifth Wheel. This is an adjustable trailer receiver hitch that is designed for use on RVs and can be bolted to the vehicle frame or welded on for a no-drill application. For this to fit you must have a trailer frame no wider than 51". The Curt # 13703, is an adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver that extends to 72" wide. Please review the...

  • Will The Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13701 Fit a 1984 Westfalia Vanagon
    Unfortunately we don't have 1984 Westfalia Vanagon available to confirm fitment of the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver, # C13701. But this can adjust from 18" to 51" so as to adapt to multiple applications. This of course would require the drilling of holes to mount. Or it can be welded in place too. The Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver, # C13701 has a 2" drop, is a Class III hitch with a 2" receiver that is rated for 5,000 lbs GTW (gross trailer weight) and 500 lbs TW...

  • How to Determine Correct Hitch for 2018 Forest River Rockwood Trailer
    There should be a hitch that fits your 2018 Forest River Rockwood, though there isn't a custom fit option. It is pretty easy to determine the correct hitch though, as all you will need to do is measure your trailer's frame from outside to outside. Once you know that dimension you will be able to get the appropriate hitch, which is likely to be one of the following: - 22" to 72" Wide Frame: Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs # 13703 - 18" to 51" Wide Frame: Adjustable Width...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2011 Heartland Landmark Grand Canyon 5th Wheel RV
    We offer a range of 2-inch RV trailer hitch receivers including both bumper-mount and frame-mount types. The bumper mount units fit 4-inch square continuous-weld steel channel bumpers and are suitable for use with RV-approved accessories only, but not for towing. They cannot be used on spot-welded or aluminum bumpers. Part # C19101 from Curt is one example. For higher capacity you can choose a frame-mount hitch like # UF35-946403 that fits RV frames from 47- to 77-inches. Other sizes are...

  • Installation Method for Curt Adjustable RV Trailer Hitch # 13703
    The frame mounting flanges on Curt hitch # 13703 measure 12-inches front-to-back and 4-7/8-inches high (high, not wide, please note). These are intended to contact the bottom and outer surfaces of the trailer's frame members. The hitch will fit frames from 22- to 72-inches wide. My technical contact at Curt confirmed that drilling new holes or in any other way modifying the hitch mounting bracket could alter its capacity. Since no testing has been done on a modified bracket Curt cannot...

    We'll start out making sure your RV has a hitch and wiring harness in case you don't already have them installed. To add a hitch to your 2000 Newmar Mountain Aire RV, you will want the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C13701. This is a universal hitch that has a 5,000 lbs towing capacity, which is just enough to tow your Traverse. There are no custom fit hitches for your RV. For a 7-way you'll have to hardwire one in using the Universal Wiring Harness w/ ModuLite and Brake...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 1983 Lindy II RV on a Chevrolet Frame
    I did a little research on your Lindy II RV and it was manufactured by Skyline. There are a lot of different motorhomes that were built on the cut-away van chassis, so the pictures you sent were extremely helpful. With the RV coming out that far from the rear axle, a hitch for the regular van won't work. We do however have universal-fit weld on hitches that you can have installed to allow you to pull your boat trailer. Depending on the drop you need from your frame to get under the...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for a Motorhome
    It sounds like you might be looking for a new trailer hitch for a motorhome, if that is the case we have some great options. I recommend the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13701 which will work on any motorhome with frames rails spaced between 18" to 51" apart. It has a 5,000 lb gross trailer weight and 500 lb tongue weight rating. It also has a built-in drop to reduce the amount of drop needed for the ball mount/tow bar.

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver for 1981 Brougham RV on a GMC Van Frame
    Since your GMC vehicle was given the RV modification treatment and now has additional components not found on the standard version I think your safest bet is to use an adjustable RV hitch that gives you some installation flexibility. Odds of an interference issue are greater with a custom-fit hitch. Our range of frame-mount RV hitches appears on the linked page and these products include both weld-on and bolt-on hitches with various weight capacities. These are made to fit a range of frame...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 1962 Aloha Trailer with 3x1.5 C-Channel Bumper?
    There isn't a bumper mount option for that 3 x 1.5 inch c-channel. Instead you will need to use a frame mounted hitch like the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver - 18"-51" Wide - 2" Drop - Class III - 2" # C13701. This is a bolt on option that will work with Box frame, C-Channel frame, or I-Beam frame.

  • Is RV Trailer Hitch Available with 10,000 lb Weight Capacity
    If you are looking for a trailer hitch to mount on your RV then the highest rated capacity is the Curt Trailer Hitches parts # C13702 and # C13701 which are both rated for a max of 6,000 lbs towing when a weight distribution (WD) system is used. These are the same hitch with the only difference being the 13701 has a 2" drop for the receiver. We do have the Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Cross Tube # 41991 which has a 16,000 lb towing rating but I'm not sure if it would fit your...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2001 Ford F-53 With 34 Inch Frame
    We do have a trailer hitch receiver that will fit your 2001 Ford F-53; there are no custom-fit applications for this vehicle, so you will need a universal application. With your 34" frame, the perfect option for this is the Multi-Fit Motorhome Trailer Hitch # 5350. This hitch does not have a drop as the receiver is even with the crosstube, so if you do need something with a bit of a drop the other option that will work is the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver - 2" Drop # C13701.

This hitch receiver will fit RV's with frame widths of 18" - 51". This is a bolt on hitch receiver.

If you do not have trailer wiring the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 118344 will do a great job and is custom fit for your Ford E-450 van so there will be no need to cut or splice your factory...

    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12009 class II receiver is our only custom fit receiver for your 1995 Buick Roadmaster. There are a couple ways you can get to a 2" opening receiver. First would be to use an Adapter # e43YR but this will lower your towing capacity and tongue weight by 50%. Second would be to use a Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13701. This may require some customizing on your Buick as it is a universal style receiver. Finally you can take the Receiver #...

    Most bumpers on campers/RVs are not reinforced enough to handle any towing weight. The Curt RV Bumper Hitch - 2" Item # C19101 would definitely bolt on but that kind of weight would most likely rip your bumper off. I recommend using the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver - 18"-51" Wide - 2" Drop - Class III - 2" Item # C13701 as it has a 500lbs weight capacity. If the distance between your frame is larger than 51" then the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs, 22" to...

Frame mount hitches are much stronger but will require more effort to install. The Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13701 is my recommendation there.

The key is checking your trailer's frame width to find the best match and the required capacity.
