Question:
I have a 2015 forest river sierra 5th wheel I recently purchased a 13704 hitch but it will not be wide enough for my frame , I thought it would work by mounting on the inside of the I beam lip but the bumper mount will not allow this. what hitch do I need, the od on frame is 72 to outer lip of I beam The 13703 is a lighter hitch and I think the brakets look like they are pretty low will it hang down lower the the 13704 the other hitch brakets would work great but the cross bar will not be long enough, Just give me a number for what I need and I will try to return the hitch I got yesterday and order the new number
