New trailer hitch

Interesting. These seem to be popular and simple. I dunno. https://www.amazon.com/CZC-AUT...e%2Caps%2C233&sr=8-1[/QUOTE]

That's what I was talking about, works well for me but I'm not sure if they make one in 2 1/2"....

I welded my hitch up to fit tight in my truck only to find I had to grind it all off to fit in Motorhome.

I see this style, which mounts a little different but same concept. https://www.amazon.com/CZC-AUT...id=1618258293&sr=8-7

That looks same as a unistrut window clamp that we use at work for bolting unistrut to beams. I might snatch one from work and try.

All these receivers are oversized providing a sloppy fit with the hitch. To further exacerbate this issue, the hole in the receiver for the hitch pin rounds out. TorkLift‘S hitch is the only one that I’m aware of that has this hitch reinforced with hardened washers in each side.


Going with Ed on this one, if you want a hitch that will hold up, not be all sloppy and other issues, there is only one you should be looking at. My next purchase.....
