How to Install Stabilizer Strap for Carrying the Dispatch # S44FR with Curt Trailer Hitch # 13703
Question:
I recently purchased this bicycle rack. It will be mounted on the Curt Hitch Receiver for RVs, Item # 13703. Auxiliary stabilizing straps are required. I was hoping you could recommend straps that can be secured to the hitch since there is nowhere to secure straps to the rear of the RV.

Expert Reply:
You can actually use the Curt Trailer Hitch Support Strap # 18050 to support the Swagman Dispatch # S44FR in your Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13703.
I have addressed this with my contact at Curt before who said that you can actually connect the support strap to the safety chain loops on the Curt trailer hitch to help support the bike rack.
