Expert Reply:
If the frame on your 2002 Fleetwood is between 18 and 51-inches I recommend the Curt hitch, part # C13702. This has a 5,000-lb towing capacity but that is increased to 6,000-lbs with a weight distribution hitch. You may also want to check the towing capacity for your Fleetwood.
A weight distribution system I recommend is the Fastway e2, part # FA92-00-0800. This has an 800-lb capacity
If your frame is wider, the trailer hitches we offer like part # 13703 will fit trailers from 22 to 72-inches but are limited to 3,500-lbs towing capacity.
