Hitch Receiver and Bike Rack Compatibility with 2013 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Chassis Motorhome
Question:
I have a 2013 Mercedez/ Sprinter Chasis RV 25foot Navion RV. I am looking for a front mounted 2inch hitch receiver so I can utilize my Hollywood EV bike rack to the front of the RV. The E bikes are heavy as in about 75 lbs or so so we need to have a strong bolted on or welded application. I cant see how these would attach to the fiber glass bumbers and they would have to mount to the frame somehow. I also see you recommend the draw tite but I want to make sure I get the correct one. If you can confirm which one Ill buy it from you guys. thx

I have a frame mounted hitch solution for you, however, there is not a front mounted trailer hitch receiver compatible with the 2013 Sprinter chassis. If you are willing to put it on the back of your motorhome I recommend the Curt Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs, 22" to 66" Wide # C13704 which will work well with the Hollywood Racks SE # HLY84FR or the RV Rider # HLY64FR both rated for bikes up to 80 lbs each, compatible with e-bikes, and rated for motorhome use. I couldn't find the EV rack you referenced to determine compatibility, but you can reach out to the manufacturer to see if it is rated for motorhome use.
