To add a hitch to your Sportsman Classic Travel Trailer, I recommend the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs item # 13703. This hitch fits frames up to 71" wide and has a 350 lbs tongue weight capacity and a 3,500 lbs towing capacity.

This hitch can fit on box frames, C-channels and I-beam frames. It can be bolted or welded into place, so it's one of the most flexible options available. This hitch will provide you with a 2" receiver that's perfect for light towing or carrying hitch mounted accessories like a bike rack or cargo carrier.

I have linked an installation video below.
