Best Trailer Hitch for a Motor Home or Travel Trailer Like a 2014 KZ Durango 353RK
Question:
Will this hitch properly fit my 2014 KZ Durango 353RK? The only purpose for this hitch is carry four bikes on our Reese SportWing.

Expert Reply:
As long as your 2014 KZ Durango has a box frame, C-Channel, or I-Beam frame that is 22 to 72 inches (from the outside of one frame rail to the outside of the other), you can use Curt trailer hitch # 13703. I have included links to the instructions and a video showing a typical installation for you.
With this hitch and using a bike rack Curt says that you also have to use stabilization strap # 18050. This is a good idea given that at the backs of trailers and RVs there is considerably more movement than at the back of a passenger vehicle.
Also, there are only certain bike racks rated for use at the backs of RVs and trailers. I have included a link to them for you. The issue is that most bike racks cannot handle the additional stress of being at the back of an RV or trailer. It is like being at the back of a school bus. There is a lot of movement and that can damage the rack, hitch, or RV.
