    I think my question would be why would you want to? You've already got a toy hauler. And she's a monster at 43 feet. Can't you put everything inside? Plus, in about half the states you can't tow two non-commercial trailers. Even if just for a bike rack, you should be able to get your bikes inside. They make hitches for it but I wouldn't do it.

    The reason I want a trailer hitch is so I can put a rack on it so I can put my Blackstone Tailgater on it. It will not fit in the garage when the bike is parked in there. nor will it fit in the bed of the truck when the camper is hitched. Thanks for your input.

    When I bought a Bike rack, it came with a Bolt On Hitch Receiver. Heavy top plate, hitch receiver, and four bolt assemblies to attach to a square bumper. So for what you want to do, I would not think you would have any issues.

    I do not have that square bumper. I think I am sol. I was thinking of installing it to the frame, but the rear of the camper is pretty low. I got to do some more homework.

    Couple last suggestions, I hope you don't mind. Being a Toy Hauler, could you install some hooks to the Rear Door and hang your grill off from it? Sort of like the Hooks you can buy to hang your ironing board on the back of you bathroom door. just more Stout?
    OR
    A reinforcement plate on the inside of your rear door and attach the hanging device on the outside to the reinforcement plate?

    Good luck and let me know what you come up with! (I am just into those type of DYI mods.)
