Recommended Frame Mounted Trailer Hitch Receiver For Jayco Eagle 320RLDS

Question

Question:

you suggested e100 hitch this is the same little hitch the lady told me to get. Iam going to haul my two 55lbs. Electric bikes. I brought the Swagman ebikes carrier from you guys. So saying all this again I need a receiver to bolt or weld to my frame iwas looking at a 350 tongue weight hitch or a 500 tw hitch. I will NOT be towing anything with the hitch. I just want a strong hitch to support the bikes period. . Please help thank you

I have another option that may work for you, but Unfortunately the brackets on the # 13703 cannot be flipped which my contact at Curt confirmed.

The Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs, 22" to 66" Wide # C13704 can be bolted or welded to the bottom of your I-Beam frame, but is only fits frames up to 66" wide where the # 13703 fits frames up to 72" wide. If your frame is not wider than 66" then this would be your best bet, and has a 350lb tongue weight rating though you will want to reach out to Jayco to find the tongue weight rating of your frame and use the lower rating between the hitch and frame.

Since you mentioned bumper supports in your other question you will want to make sure that the supports are not on the bottom of the frame or they will be in the way of the hitch.

If the supports are on the bottom of the frame, or if your frame is wider than 66" the # E-100 would be the only available option and still has a 350lb tongue weight rating. You could also add the support brackets # MO34VR to reinforce the bumper if you feel it would not be able to support your two 55lb electric bikes.

I included videos for the # C13704 and # MO34VR for you to take a look at.

The Safety Struts you have now on your RV frame/bumper would work well with the 24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier for RV Bumper #e99049 that you mentioned. You can use them instead of the brackets that come with the carrier and you'd be perfectly…

Many RV bumper manufacturers construct their product with a plastic cap or a hinged door instead of endcap, allowing bumper to be used for storage; apparently you have this type. Open that end piece to examine if the seam has spot welds (short welds…

Answer 8

Since your bumper is welded to the frame, it should be very strong and likely won't need to use the support brackets #MO34VR for the 24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier for RV Bumper #e99049. However, you'll want to verify that the load you're…

The Curt bumper mounted receiver part #E-100 will serve that purpose. The receiver itself provides a 3500 lb towing/ 350 lb tongue weight capacity. This assumes that the 4 inch bumper on your RV has sufficient capacity to safely tow the towing/tongue…
