I would rather have a rear bumper than a 2" receiver hitch--light duty. I'm the type that might just back into something.like a bush--or tree--when backing up my trailer.
I still find the Northern Tool clamp on 2" receiver hitch adequate for a hitch that you're just going to have a bicycle rack on.
My daughter's a bicycle racer, and we've been known to put bicycles in the back seat and trunk. I don't see why they cannot be put inside the front door either.

They also make bumper mounted hitches that have about the same capacity. Just made for putting bicycles or such on there.

Does anyone know what size nuts and bolts are used to mount the receiver? We ordered our receiver for our 27RL, but GD but didn't give us the hardware with it. Thanks

Looks like the bolt is 1/2" dia. X 1-1/2 " long.
Thank you for your quick response & photos.

I added those and store my folding ladder in one and my flag pole, fishing poles, hiking poles in the other. I use the factory hose container for my sewer hose but intend to remove that (it's too short in my opinion) and add another of these up there.

Read all of the all of the warning label on your hitch and trailer. My 2015 303 came with a 300 lb rated recreational hitch that looks exactly like the one pictured that is for bike racks only. These hitches are not designed or made to be towing anything and are held to the frame by 2-3 small 1 inch welds. I just had mine replaced with a real hitch that is rated at 5000 lbs so I can tow my boat. These recreational hitches will bend and collapse under to much load.

Can the frame of the 5th wheel handle the load of towing a boat like that?

+1 to Phydeauxman. The frames on RV's often look large, however the metal can be very thin. I'd be hesitant to ever tow anything behind a trailer.
