Building a trailer receiver/hitch to tow behind fifth wheel

[Reeko08]

I was wondering if any body has a set up like that. If you do, send me info on the specs that they use to build your receiver. (Thickness, square tubing. Etc) pics will help a lot. Thanks

sorry no specs on mine. full custom build. but i can tow any bumper trailer made.
( pending total weight and length limits).

but you must reinforce the frame a good two to three feet. cross members of min 120 wall. and tringle supports ( 45%) back to the hitch point

think over kill here. can not make stroung enougth. but watch the weight of the assambly.
use qualty hard steel, not mild steel.

Not only used for towing.

Stabilizing also.

This is just what I have been looking for. There is no price on that link. Mind if I ask what it set ya back?

I would at least weld a C-channel cross member a foot ahead of your 2x2 tubing with the receiver bridging the two cross members to reduce the torsion in your hitch.

I made out of 2x2 square tubing 1/4” thick, I hope it could handle my Jeep. Thanks again & nice set up C B
