RV Bumper Mounted Trailer Hitch that has the Receiver On Top of the Bumper
Question:
Can you mount this upside down from the way its shown installed to give an additional 4inch of height from the ground and would that change its rated capacity?
asked by: Henry
Expert Reply:
I can only recommend installing Curt hitch # E-100 according to the instructions which show it positioned with the receiver on the bottom. If you want to use a hitch for an accessory and not for towing then there are other options that place the receiver on top such as # S64025 which is rated for 200 pounds or # UF35-946402 rated for 350 pounds.
