Can Spacers be Used to Install Curt RV Hitch 13703 on a 74-1/2 Inch Wide Frame
Question:
I have a Keystone Raptor with a I-beam frame that is 74 1/2inch wide center to center. my question is can I use spacers between the hitch side plates and the frame to make the hitch fit?

Helpful Expert Reply:
I have a possible solution for you but I spoke with Curt and they said not to use spacers or anything like that to install hitch # 13703.
But you might be able to have a professional welder fabricate a hitch that will span the width of your Keystone Raptor. They could use some of the hitch fabrication parts that we carry which I have linked to the right.
None of the other hitches are wide enough so having a hitch custom fabricated would be the way to go.
