Trailer Hitch for Big Country Fifth Wheel Trailer

Question

Question:

Hello, On my 5th Wheel trailer there are brackets in place to bolt on a receiver hitch. The space between the brackets is 68 3/4, it bolts on with 4 bolts on both sides. I attached a picture of the mounting plates. Do you have a hitch that would bolt onto this?

Curt hitch # 13703 fits trailers that have a box frame, C-channel frame, or I-beam frame that is between 22" and 72"; it has mounting holes that may work for you depending on what your trailer measures. As you can see in the accompanying photo the hitch has mounting holes spaced 2" apart vertically and 7-1/2" apart horizontally.

I've added a link to a video reivew of this hitch for you to take a look at as well.
