I will be buying a new Starcraft Launch Ultra Lite 24 RLS within the next two weeks. I need to add a Class 2 receiver hitch to it to pull a Full Dress Harley on a small trailer, total weight 2000 lbs. or less.

Has anyone actually put on a frame mounted hitch on their TT or 5th wheel like this?

Dealer says they send theirs out to a local muffler shop, no problem...I don't always beleive the dealer especially before the sale..Lol..!!

You are going to get a lot of replies.

Ultra lights are made light by lightening the frame...
Double towing behind an TT is illegal is most areas.
Both trailers need brakes.
You need to plan your route accordingly to not need to back up.

Best answer is to get a toy hauler.

Best to check with the manufacturer. Many of the light weight trailer's frames cannot handle hitches, even its just used for a bike rack.
