There are many useful cargo accessories available that fit into a standard two-inch receiver hitch. There are bicycle carriers, storage boxes, scooter carriers and cargo platforms, to name a few. Unfortunately, most travel trailers don’t come with a hitch receiver on the back, so you can’t use them. Or, can you?
If you have a standard four-inch square RV bumper on your trailer, Tulga Fifth-wheel has you covered. They make a nifty adapter that bolts onto your bumper and provides a regulation-size, two-inch receiver.
Now, it isn’t designed for towing, so don’t get any crazy ideas, but the adapter will allow you to use just about any of those neat racks and boxes on the back of your trailer. The Bumper Hitch Receiver Adapter installs easily with a pair of hefty U-bolts, and no cutting or drilling is required.
Tulga also makes a small hitch tightener that will keep your new accessory from wobbling around.
This simple clamp mounts on the hitch and stabilizes the connection between the receiver and the hitch accessory. It works great for bike racks, and it will take the slack and wobble out of almost any kind of two-inch receiver hitch.
Tulga Fifth-wheel specializes in hitches and accessories for the commercial trucking industry. They recently entered the RV marketplace with these two extremely useful accessories, and both have a lifetime warranty. You can check them out on Amazon.com
