Rear hitch installation. Unusual frame
I’d like to add a rear hitch to my Grand Design Reflection 303RLS to mount a bike rack. I dropped the coroplast this weekend to measure things and plan for the job. I had hoped to use the Curt 1370...

Just a thought.
Why not install a fence post under the 5er? Or set one on top of the bumper. I have one on my 5er for my sewer hose and it's in my top 5 mods. Mines been under the 5er for 6 camping seasons and under a previous TT for 2 seasons.
If you do go the 2" receiver route you only have 3/4 left top and bottom on a 4" bumper. Thats why I was thinking about the 1-/14" receiver to give more material to work with. I would suggest at least an 1/8" thick plate. The bikes and rack aren't heavy but the up and down motion will put the most stress on the bumper.
Either way it sounds like a fun project.
