Expert Answers about Forest River Wildcat eXtraLite Fifth Wheel

• Can I Use the Swagman XP Hitch Bike Rack on an RV or Fifth Wheel Trailer?
• Yes, the Swagman XP - 4 Bike Rack # S64940 can be used with a 2-inch hitch (welded or unwelded) on your 2013 Forest River Wildcat eXtraLite Fifth Wheel. If you need a hitch receiver that is compatible with the XP, I recommend the Buyers Products RV Bumper Receiver Hitch # 337RVA24. The RV Bumper Hitch is constructed with carbon steel and will fit a standard 4" or 4-1/2" square tube RV bumper.

• Replacement Tire and Wheel Options for a 2014 Forest River Wildcat eXtraLite 5th Wheel
• With the tire size you mentioned, you could have either a 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern or 8 on 6-1/2. I was not able to determine which option is correct given your RV information.
