Any ideas for front hitch receiver and carrier?

Hey guys,

I have concluded that I am going to carry my Honda 3000 on a front hitch carrier so I have been searching back through the forum and other internet searches for ideas. Some of the older threads don't still have pictures that were originally posted. Can anyone offer suggestions or share pictures of what people have created to accomplish this?

I would like to consider some type of partially enclosed box/cage to help protect from weather and use during rain yet still offer ample cooling for the generator. Kind of thinking the front and top being closed but maybe the two side being relatively open for air flow and exhaust. The generator is already quiet but I would like to make it even quieter so I don't irritate those around me if I need to turn it on. Not looking for anything fancy or expensive...not out to impress anyone with my 15 year old truck and camper.

Any ideas and comments would be appreciated

Thanks,
Phil

  • I got the Draw-Tite from eTrailer. A couple of hours to install, but because it bolts onto the mounting holes for the front tow-eyes, it actually pushes the tow-eyes out a bit further than a factory mount, so it makes them more accessible and easier to use, too.
  • With your Ram do NOT buy a Curt front receiver. Your Ram front fascia is curved and the Curt is flat so you will have to cut a slot to clear the hitch ends. If they knew how to curve metal it would fit behind the bumper and trim panels!!!
