Recommended RV Hitch and Hitch Dirt Bike Carrier
Question:
Hi. I have a 2009 30ft. Attitude toy hauler with a I beam frame. I would like to install a rear hitch so I can carry a dirt bike rack. Too many dirt bikes inside a toy hauler. Must put one outside. What do you recommend?

Your best option for an RV hitch will be a frame-mount type since these offer higher capacity than the bumper-mount variety. All frame-mount RV hitches we offer are shown on the linked page. You will want to use the highest-capacity hitch that will fit your RV's frame width. A good choice is Curt's adjustable width hitch # C13702 which offers a 500-lb tongue weight (TW) rating. This capacity means that the combined weight of your dirt bike and its carrier must remain within the hitch's 500-lb TW limit.
The linked page displays the 2-inch hitch-mount motorcycle carriers we offer. These are available with a tilting feature and a ramp. A cost-effective option is the etrailer # e98873 which can handle a 500-lb dirt bike but which only weighs about 58-lbs thanks to its aluminum construction.
