Hitch Solution for RV with Sealed Lower Panel Covering Rear Frame
Question:
Hello, Id like to tow a trailer for ATVs or a boat trailer. But Im unsure which hitch and where to bolt on the accessory hitch on the back of my 5th Wheel camper. The trailer bumper is attached/welded to the bottom of the i-beam with 2x4 tubes that are 8inch long. The i-beam is ~2 1/2inch wide. Also, is a friction sway control bar available / recommended for 5th Wheel accessory / boat trailer towing. Thank you

Expert Reply:
Since your trailer's frame is not easily accessible due to paneling on the bottom of the RV you'd want to go with a bumper hitch like the part # E-100 and move the spare wheel off-center on the bumper so the hitch hitch fit.
A friction sway control unit like part # 83660 would be a great option to reduce sway as well.
