Travel Trailer receiver hitch hook up

No I do not think this looks safe. But, it is funny.

  • My interpretation of the OPs post, it is a "what not to do" type post, that is not his equipment. I'm sure this thread will be three+ pages long shortly of people lecturing the OP about how bad his hitch setup is :)

    Does that make it a 3,500 pound rated receiver?

    Why not just bolt the hitch ball directly to the truck, instead of making the whole system so much weaker by using the receiver?

  • The hitch needs to be attached to the truck frame NOT bumber::(
    Go to welding sho to have it done right!!!!!! Your current hitch is a disaster waiting to happen for both you and other people on the road!!!!!
  • Wow!!! It's amazing how creative people can be when doing stupid things.
