Can Hole Be Drilled In Top Of Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount For Hitch Ball  

Question:

I like your multipurpose ball mount D210. Im concerned about the clearance between tow ball and receiver for the bike rack as I dont want to hitch and unhitch trailer each time before dealing with bikes. Could a hole for the bike rack be drilled through the top of the accessories receiver to mount a ball for accepting a 2 bike rack? Thanks,

Expert Reply:

There are a couple reasons you cannot drill a hole in the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount, part # D210.

First, you would void any warranty for the mount and probably the accessory you want to use with the ball mounted in the # D210. Secondly, the top receiver opening is not designed for a hitch ball. It is made to be used with an accessory like a cargo carrier or a bike carrier. The bottom hitch ball mount is the only part of the item that is designed to be used with a trailer.

I have attached a photo of the # D210 with the dimensions noted you can check out.
