Availability of RV Hitch to Fit a 2009 Montana 3685sa Fifth Wheel Trailer
Question:
I have a 2009 Montana 3685sa. I want to put a trailer hitch on the fifth wheel and weld it to the frame. Do you have a product for this application?

The most versatile RV frame mount hitch I have would be the Curt Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch, part # 13703. This hitch can be welded on or bolted on and fits frames from 22 inches wide up to 72 inches wide. It will also fit various frame styles like a Box frame, C-Channel frame, and I-Beam frame. It has a towing weight capacity of 3,500 lbs and a tongue weight capacity of 350 lbs.
I am including a link to the installation instructions on the Curt hitch.
Also, I have four other RV hitches that are a bolt-on hitch, but can also be welded on. These hitches will vary in the frame widths they will fit on. I am including a link to the page that will list the four RV bolt-on hitches. You will want to choose the correct hitch by the frame width you have and the weight capacity you will need.
The Draw-Tite Class IV Weld-On Ultra Frame Hitch, part # 41990 you have referenced can be welded to your RV frame , but it is not adjustable. It will only fit a frame of 44 inches wide.
