Will Curt Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch # 13703 Fit I-Beam Trailer Frames

Question

Question:

I was wondering if this product would work on I Beams. I have a 2017 Rockwood Roo 233S that has I Beam. I am looking to just carry five bikes on my 2inch Allen bike rack system so I dont lose my bumper. I dont trust safety struts with that much weight. Thx.

Yes, the Curt Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13703 can be installed on an I-beam frame (as well as a C-channel or box frame). As long as the frame width on your Rockwood trailer is between 22 and 72 inches this will work great.

I certainly agree that for more heavy-duty applications like what you are wanting to do a frame-mount hitch is the best option. A bumper mounted unit won't provide the kind of support that would be required for this setup.

This particular hitch features a 2 inch receiver opening and a 350 pound tongue weight limit. I have attached a short install video on a Rockwood camper that you can also take a look at.

The 24x84 etrailer Cargo Carrier for RV Bumper #e96ZR is going to fold up and sit on top of the mounting brackets, so anything that would sit above the bumper of your 2022 Jayco Redhawk Class C Motorhome is going to interfere with the cargo…

For the 24x64 etrailer Cargo Carrier for RV Bumper, #e83YR I recommend using the Fulton Economy Spare Tire Carrier, #FETCLB0201 to mount your spare to hang under the cargo carrier.

Answer 6

Yes the brackets of the 24x64 etrailer Cargo Carrier for RV Bumper #e83YR that you referenced would get bolted to the frame rails under the bumper to give it more support so that you could carry heavier items like generators.

Answer 7

The 24x84 etrailer Cargo Carrier for RV Bumper #e96ZR is designed for 4" x 4" bumper tubes so this particular cargo carrier wouldn't be a compatible fit to attach to your trailer hitch crosstube. Instead I recommend a hitch mounted…
