  • Best Spare Tire Carriers for a Boat Trailer and a Camper
  • The best bumper mount spare tire carrier for your camper is going to be the Ultra-Fab Folding Spare Tire Carrier for Trailers and RVs - Bumper Mount item # UF15-954730. This carrier fits 4" wide, rear, box-style bumpers. This spare tire carrier swings down to allow quick, easy access to rear storage. It fits most 5-, 6-, and 8-lug automotive wheels with the exception of 5 on 5 bolt patterns. I have linked a review video below. For your boat trailer I recommend the Fulton Hi-Mount Spare...

  • Can I Tow a Bass Boat With the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver on a 2016 Porsche Macan
  • As long as your 2016 Porsche Macan is not a GTS model, you can use the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit - Custom Fit - 2" # SH84FRT to tow your bass boat. You will need this version of the stealth hitch because the other model is just for bike racks or cargo carriers. Your 2016 Porsche Macan has a towing capacity of 4409 lbs and the stealth hitches have a 600 lb maximum tongue weight and 6000 lb maximum trailer weight. With your trailer and boat at 3200 lbs...

  • Will The Bumper Mount Receiver Fit a 2006 Honda Ridgeline For Towing a Jon Boat Trailer?
  • I recommend installing the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75280 on your 2006 Honda Ridgeline. Honda does not rate the rear bumper as being strong enough for towing so the Curt # E-3S bumper mount is not an option. This bumper mount was designed to used on trucks which have a mount for a tow ball and a bumper rated for towing. The Draw-Tite attaches to the frame rails as well as the rear of the bumper making sure it has a strong connection to the truck. The T-One Vehicle...

  • Will a Bike Rack Mounted on the etrailer Hitch # e98859 be Able to Clear My Rear Bumper on a 1994 YJ
  • Since the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98859 installs flush with the bumper of your 1994 Jeep YJ, you will not have any tire clearance issues as long as the shank length of the bike rack is longer than the distance between the center of the hitch's pinhole to the outside edge of your spare tire. With your boat trailer, you shouldn't have an issue unless you have a boat trailer with a boat winch attached to it. One creative way to measure whether you have enough shank length on...

  • Compatibility of Rear RV Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2017 Prime Time Crusader Lite 28RL
  • Your 2017 Prime Time Crusader Lite 28RL trailer according to the manufacturer was not designed to accommodate the addition of a hitch to the rear bumper or frame. So they will not warranty the addition of the Curt RV Bumper 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # E-100 or the addition of a hitch like # C13701. You will need to weigh the risk when desiring to tow as most 5th wheel trailers and these hitch options would allow for that utility trailer with ATV towing or small aluminum boat. The hitches...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 1987 Chevy C/K 1500 With a Deep Drop Bumper
  • A deep drop bumper is a bumper that hangs further below the frame than a standard bumper. Check out the photo that I attached showing a deep drop bumper compared to a standard bumper and a step bumper. We have three frame mount trailer hitches that will work with a deep drop bumper on your 1987 Chevrolet C/K 1500. You could install the Curt Hitch, # C13099 or the Draw-Tite Hitch, # 41504. These are all Class III trailer hitches that have a towing capacity of 5,000 lbs and a tongue weight...

  • Hitch for 2005 Chevy 26 Foot Motor Home With 2 Inch Receiver to Launch and Haul a Boat
  • Yes, we offer several different bolt-on frame mounted hitches. There are several to choose from that are adjustable to fit many models of motor homes and can be adjusted to fit your chassis. The frame mounted hitch is recommended because you can adjust it to fit your motor home and is better for towing as opposed to the bumper receiver hitch, part # E-100 that you selected. You will want to check with the motor home manufacturer before using the # E-100 hitch to make sure the bumper is...

  • Will The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver Part # 75600 Fit A 2013 BMW X5 35i
  • Yes, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75600 is compatible with your 2013 BMW X5 35i. Although you will not have to change or replace the rear bumper on your vehicle, you will have to temporarily remove the fascia in order to install the hitch as described in the installation instructions from the manufacturer. It will also require you to trim the bottom of the rear fascia about 6-8" for an exact fit. The rear bumper fascia can be removed by undoing the 6 screws located...

  • Parts Needed To Transfer Lighting Signals While Triple Towing An RV And Boat Trailer
  • To triple tow you wouldn't be running both connectors to your Ram. You would connect the RV's 7-pole to your Ram and then connect the boat trailer to a connector on the RV. Since you just need lights for the boat trailer you'll just need a 4-pole connector # HM38138, some heat shrink butt connectors # DW05744-10, and some additional wire for length. You'll splice in the 4-pole connector to the lights on the rear of your RV to transfer your lighting signals from the RV to the boat trailer....

  • Can 18 inch Extender be Used to Pull Boat Trailer Behind Travel Trailer
  • The Brophy Hitch Extender for 2-inch Trailer Hitches # ST18 can be used to tow a boat trailer behind your truck-pulled camper. There are a few things that you will want to keep in mind though. Even though you can pull a boat trailer behind a bumper trailer it is illegal is many states. The max Tongue Weight (TW) is 350 lbs and max Gross Trailer Weight is 3,500 lbs. Keep in mind that even though this might have a fairly good TW capacity, your TW capacity is reduced by 33-1/3% percent...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver Compatible with 2019 GMC Canyon Step Bumper
  • For your 2019 GMC Canyon, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e98909 will be a great choice. The mounting location won't interfere with your bumper steps and the capacities of hitches are often stronger than the trucks they are mounted on simply because they are independently tested. You will be restricted to the capacity of your truck which will tow the boat you referenced without issue. I attached a video of the 2020 Colorado which...

  • Receiver Hitch Needed To Tow A Boat Behind An RV
  • Unless you know the towing capacity of the bumper you would be installing the Curt RV Bumper 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # E-100 on this would not be a safe way to tow your boat. You'll instead want to install a receiver hitch that's rated to tow and to know which size you'll need you'll have to measure from the inside of the frame beams to find the frame width. I recommend installing the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs, 22" to 72" Wide Item # 13703 on your RV as it has a...

  • Which Hitch Is Recommended For A 2017 CrossRoads Volante 5th Wheel?
  • No, unfortunately the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs, 22" to 66" Wide # C13704 will only fit RV's that have a frame width ranging from 22" to 66", and since you mentioned yours is 68" it's going to be a bit too small. What you should've gone with instead is the Curt RV Bumper 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # E-100. This hitch will mount directly to your bumper so there won't be any clearance issues from it sitting back too far, and it also has the same 3.5K weight capacity...

  • Is The Wiring on Forest River 3440BH Support Adding Trailer Connector For Lights On Boat Trailer?
  • If your Forest River Sierra 3440BH and boat trailer are using LED Tail lights and clearance lights you should not have any issues splicing into your tail light wiring with either a 4-Way # 18252 or 5-Way # HM47900 flat connector. There is a chance of overloading the wiring if you are using incandescent tail lights and clearance lights. With incandescent lights you would need to add all your wattages together for all the lights to determine if your tow vehicle is capable of providing enough...

  • 5th Wheel Wiring Harness for 2000 Ford F-150 Extended Cab
  • Yes, you can add a second 7-way in your truck bed for 5th wheel towing while keeping your existing bumper-mount 7-way active. Curt harness # C56000 plugs in inline with the existing wiring leading to your 7-way. It allows that socket to remain active while adding the second 7-way in the truck bed for towing your 5th wheel trailer.

  • Trailer Hitch for Fifth Wheel to Tow a Boat
  • The Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13703 will fit a 64 inch frame and can be used on your 2005 Jayco Eagle so long as it has a box frame, C-channel frame, or I-beam frame. This is a Class III hitch that has a 350 lb tongue weight capacity and 3,500 lb towing capacity so you do need to ensure you are below those capacities.

  • Does Ball Mount Length Need to be Factored When Picking Out Ball Mount with Curt Hitch 12264
  • Boat trailers typically have pole tongues which typically don't have any issues with turning clearances. Typically even a-frame trailers aren't prone to clearance issues unless it's just a really short tongue and a really wide trailer. The Curt hitch part # C12264 is in a pretty standard location under the rear bumper so I would not anticipate any issues with the trailer hitting the vehicle with turning. Typically it's the rise/drop figure that is more important as that's what allows the...

  • Will the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Fit A 21' Bumper Pull Trailer?
  • Yes, the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs, 22" to 66" Wide # C13704 is designed to be either bolted or welded on, and will work just fine with your 21' bumper pull camper trailer. This hitch is designed to fit trailers that have a frame width of 22" tp 66", a maximum weight capacity of 5,000-lbs, and a maximum tongue weight capacity of 500-lbs. If you need a hitch that fits a wider framed trailer, you can check out the: Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs #...

  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class IV, # C14357, can fit the 2004 Ford F-150 truck if that has never had a factory installed hitch. The factory hitch uses part of the bumper structure and if removed aftermarket hitches will not be able to mount to the frame and bumper points.

  • The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98856 is confirmed to fit all models of the 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with the exception being those with eco diesel engines. It is a no drill applications but there have been some rare instances where a piece of welding slag may need to be broken off or drilled to get all the bolts to fit properly. The weight capacity is 350lbs tongue weight and 3,500lbs trailer weight which will be enough for your 2,500lb boat. Be sure to verify that your Wrangler...
