Two Different Mounting Options
The HiLoHitch gives you the flexibility to mount your hitch receiver above or below your RV bumper. You can mount your hitch receiver below the bumper if your camper body hangs over your bumper. You can also mount it above to give your bike rack or cargo carrier an extra 6" of clearance to avoid scraping on uneven surfaces when entering or leaving parking lots or crossing roads.
Hitch-Clamping Design
No more loud, shaky rides and damage to your bike rack or cargo carrier. Unlike conventional bumper-mounted hitches that often tighten down the shank using set screws that cause instability and dents, the HiLoHitch has a unique clamping design that firmly holds your bike rack or cargo carrier in place to help reduce noisy rattling and avoid damage to your shank from rocky, bumpy rides.
The shank is held in place between a 1/4" steel base plate and free-floating pressure plate. The heavy-duty retention bolt is used to tighten the pressure plate down, creating a clamping force to reduce movement of your hitch-mounted accessory. The base plate helps distribute the load when the pressure plate is engaged to prevent denting and other damage. Shank locks in place with a 5/8" hitch pin and clip (sold separately).
No Load-Bearing Fasteners
Most bumper-mounted hitches use load-bearing fasteners, such as U-bolts, to carry the weight of hitch-mounted accessories, like a bike rack or cargo carrier. The bolts can easily dent your bumper if over-tightened and tend to loosen over time, causing your hitch to bounce and shake while driving down the road, leading to more damage on your bumper. This unique design was constructed with a retention fastener to firmly clamp the side plates and base plate around your bumper to reduce the risk of damage.

Highly recommend this over the "Eaz-Lift 48473 Square Bumper Hitch Adapter for 2" Receiver" that wrecked my old bumper. This evenly wraps and tightens around whole bumper as opposed to a a couple pressure points that will crush and bend your bumper. I would recommend the safety struts if you aren't using an upgraded bumper.

The spare tire mount that came with our motorhome was not strong enough to securely hold the heavy spare tire. etrailer recommended the Mount-n-Lock HiLoHitch and the etrailerHitch Mounted Spare tire Carrier and the combination worked very good for us. My husband and I are in our mid 70's and we were able to do the instillation ourselves with the help of the enclosed directions and some online videos. The hardest part was lifting the heavy spare tire onto the carrier.
by: Timothy04/21/2022
This was an easy installation on the back of our 5th wheel camper. I use this for mounting my 1up brand bicycle carrier to the rear bumper. I haul two ebikes so the weight being carried is in the 80-90 pounds and have not had any problems.
by: John05/09/2023
Very happy with the shipping, rugged material and fabricated parts assemble and fit well. Many pieces and full concentration to assemble, pretty much a perfect fit to the 4 inch bumper on my 2105 303 RLS. I now have installed the support brackets (MNL 1SSNHD) and the Hilo Hitch and preparing a trip with the rv. I will fabricate and add a couple angle iron pieces to sure up bumper brackets to frame. Then safe for the 2 ebikes.

This will bend your rv frame and total your trailer. DO NOT USE.

Great product just as expected

Just installed this hitch today. Very easy assembly and happy with the design and the way it looks. Will update after first few trips with bike rack.

Feels very heavy and well built.

Locks TIGHT onto camper bumper and TIGHT onto any attachment you slip into this receiver. No more bouncing bicycles!
by: Coleen09/08/2023
Shipping was great.
by: Jay08/15/2022
While the item was of good quality and very well constructed, I was not able to use it in either the top or bottom positions. The configuration of my bumper and the trailer body was such that the unit could not be installed.
by: Greg 09/02/2022
I am glad I spent the extra money for this. So much sturdier than those other mounts. Went together very easily. E-trailer was a huge help verifying that it would fit given the narrow space I had between my bumper and the trailer skin. I highly recommend.
by: Stuart 11/17/2022
Easy to install. Bolt to tighten load does not hold load very tight. Side to side movement. Up and down ok.
Overall this should do what I bought it for.

Works as designed to attach bike rack to trailer bumper
by: Brady 09/17/2021
This is awesome. I had a cargo rack that I modified to hold my generator and extra propane bottles. The cargo rack is a cheap one that was always a sloppy fit in the 2” receiver. This receiver took all of the sloppiness out of that plus I believe it will work with most random 2” hitches. I have not tried to remove the cargo rack yet but I hope if I need to it be easy enough. I am also wondering how it would do without anything plugged into it.
by: Annon06/13/2022
Heavy duty. Great for a bike rack. So far so good
by: Eric 09/05/2022
It's pretty reliable. I'm also a pieces and parts kinda guy, so assembly was fun.

Heavy duty (not wimpy) mount for our RV bumper. Using it for our bike rack. Super sturdy.
Shipping was very timely.
by: Manuel06/07/2022
Very sturdy but cannot mount receiver above bumper without plenty of clearance.
by: William04/19/2021
Haven't installed the hitch yet (upcoming weekend project). However, service was excellent. Website easy to use, and shipping a breeze. I put normal shipping and they notified me within a day that they bumped up the shipping at no extra charge. I ordered it with standard (5 to 7 business day) shipping and on 4/14 and it arrived on 4/17! Excellent experience!
by: John M04/11/2021
Not only did I receive the Mount n Lock 2 days early, it came in a really stout box. The packaging was absolutely the best and the directions are extremely easy with high quality pictures. I recommend this company and their products to everyone.

Easy to install, very specific directions, good solid material.

Still works as advertised. solid, no rust.

Good and sturdy. Almost didn’t fit. Make sure your bumper sticks out past your trailer.

See what our Experts say about this Mount-n-Lock RV and Camper Hitch
- Dimensions of Mount-N-Lock Hitch Bumper Clamp Bolt ConnectionThe Mount-N-Lock # MNT47FR is going to be a close fit where the hitch bolt-clamp attaches to your trailer bumper as shown in your pictures. I took some measurements and pictures of these parts for you to compare your measurements to. See the attached drawings.

- Can Mount-n-Lock HiLoHitch Mount Off Center on Rear of Minni 2100BHYes you can mount the Mount-n-Lock HiLoHitch # MNT47FR off center on the rear bumper of your Micro Minnie 2100BH so that you can mount your bike rack. This would be a great solution to allow you to carry your bike rack.
view full answer... - Clearance Needed To Install The Mount-N-Lock HiLoHitch The back plate of the Mount-n-Lock HiLoHitch for 4" RV Bumpers # MNT47FR is 3/16" thick so you'll have enough room to install it with your 1/2" of space. I've attached a short video below going over how to install this hitch.
view full answer... - Will the Mount-n-Lock HiLoHitch Fit a 4" BumperYes, the Mount-n-Lock HiLoHitch # MNT47FR is designed to fit 4" bumpers so it will fit on your Gulf Stream just fine.
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch For A 2013 Coachmen Clipper Sport 106 Pop Up Trailer Unless the bumper is reinforced and has a stated weight capacity I do not recommend putting any attachments on it. Most factory bumpers don't come with enough weight capacity to hold a bike rack and bike so most campers end up needing to install a new receiver hitch. To know what size you'll need you'll have to measure the distance on the inside between the I-beams of the frame. If you have a frame distance of 22"-72" I recommend the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs Item...
view full answer... - Hitch For Fusion 5th Wheel With JacksA hitch like the # 13703 might work if the jacks do not interfere with the where the hitch installs which is on the frame. If the jacks are above the frame it'll work. Otherwise, if you have a bumper you can add a bumper mounted hitch; for example if you have a 4" square bumper use the Mount-n-Lock HiLoHitch for 4.0" RV Bumpers # MNT47FR.
view full answer... - How to Determine Correct RV Trailer Hitch for 2021 Winnebago Micro Minnie 225RLWe will have a trailer hitch receiver that is able to be mounted to your 2021 Winnebago Micro Minnie 225RL, but you will need to determine the correct one. From the photos I saw it looks like this trailer does have a bumper and spare tire, so you will need to utilize a bumper-mounted trailer hitch. To determine the correct one, you will only need to measure your bumper, and it is very likely a 4" square bumper. If so you would need the following hitch: - Mount-n-Lock HiLoHitch for 4"...
view full answer... - Bumper Mounted Hitch Receiver for 4 Inch Square Bumper on RVWe have a good solution for you, though I took a look at the hitch you mentioned, and it is very similar in regards to installation as the Curt RV Bumper 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # E-100. That leads me to believe you would have the same issues, so I recommend going with a hitch that installs differently, the Mount-n-Lock HiLoHitch for 4" RV Bumpers # MNT47FR. This hitch can install with the receiver either above or below your bumper, and uses a retention bolt, as you can see in the...

- Recommendation For A 30"W x 36 L Cargo CarrierThe closest cargo carrier we have to your desired 30" W x 36" L would be the 30x50 Curt Cargo Carrier w/ 48" Ramp # C18112. We have a variety of other sizes but most of the cargo carriers are going to be around 24" in width. I've linked our selection of cargo carriers below but I can help you more if you can tell me what you're planning to use the cargo carrier for.
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for Travel Trailer Bumper to Carry BikesSo long as the bumper of your travel trailer is a 4" x 4" square bumper I recommend the Mount-n-Lock HiLoHitch for 4" RV Bumpers # MNT47FR. I really like this hitch because unlike other hitches for bumpers you can mount this above or below your bumper, and instead of attaching to your bumper with U-bolts (that can potentially dent your bumper), the Mount-n-Lock clamps on, securing with a retention bolt and pressure plate. I have added a link below to a video review for you to check out...
view full answer... - Yakima Longhaul RV Bike Rack for 2016 Jayco Jay Flight 24RBS.I'd mount the receiver (make sure it's rated for the 32 lb weight of the LongHaul plus the combined weight of the bikes) to the top of the bumper for greater ground clearance, as long as the manufacturer of the receiver has no prohibitions about doing so. If you haven't selected a receiver yet, I'd recommend the # MNT47FR from Mount-n-Lock which is compatible with 4x4 tube bumpers found on many RV's, and can be mounted either above or below the bumper. If you have a different size bumper...
view full answer... - How To Carry Two Electric Bikes On An RVIn order to carry electric bikes on the back of a trailer you'll first need to start with a trailer hitch, the Mount-n-Lock HiLoHitch for 4" RV Bumpers part # MNT47FR is what I recommend. I have attached a review video below. This can then be used to attach a bike rack, the Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack part # HLY64FR is RV rated and can carry electric bikes. Please note, there are very few bike racks that can attach directly to the bumper, none of which are rated for electric bikes....
view full answer... - How To Carry An E-Bike On a Travel TrailerIn order to carry an e-bike on a travel trailer, you really only have one option which is the Lets Go Aero V-Lectric Bike Rack part # LGA77FR. It would then require a trailer hitch like the Mount-n-Lock HiLoHitch for 4" RV Bumpers part # MNT47FR. The issue is many bike racks are not rated for use on a travel trailer since the ride is very rough and only one of these can be used with e-bikes. The Surco 2 Bike Carrier for Vans and RVs won't work for an e-bike, the per bike capacity is 37.5 lbs.
view full answer... - Option For Trailer Hitch For TrailerThe hitch you referenced is for certain year Jeep Wranglers so instead you want a hitch made specifically for RVs. There are two options, depending on if you want a hitch that bolts to the frame or one that you can attach to a 4 inch bumper: - Frame Mount: Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs, 22" to 72" Wide # 13703 - Bumper Mount: Mount-n-Lock HiLoHitch for 4.0" RV Bumpers # MNT47FR
view full answer... - RV Camera System For 28 Foot Trailer Pulled by 40 Foot MotorhomeThere aren't separate boosters for RV observation/back-up cameras, so realistically a wireless camera is not a good option. At 70 feet, through an enclosed trailer and motorhome, the signal would be, at best, intermittent. You would have to go with a wired camera, like the Rear View Safety Backup Camera System with Trailer Tow Quick Connect Kit # RVS-770613-213. This has a 26' monitor cable and 66' camera cable, and 12' pigtail, so you could make it work, but it would require routing the...
view full answer... - Ways To Add a Bike Rack Behind an RV Without a Factory Installed Rear BumperWith your RV not having a rear bumper you will have a couple options and I recommend collaborating with the trailer manufacturer to determine which is going to work best. First and the easiest is going to be installing a Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs # 13703. This will allow you to carry a bike rack like the Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack # S94FR in the receiver. Another option which may be the smartest is installing the Mount-n-Lock Heavy-Haul'r Replacement RV Bumper # MNT43VR....

Having said that, the XC2 is not rated for use on a travel trailer, so you'd need a different bike rack as well, and what you can use for the hitch and rack is the following (so long as your bumper is the...
view full answer... - How Does The Mount-N-Lock HiLoHitch Secure To My Trailer's Bumper?The retention screw on the top of the Mount-n-Lock HiLoHitch for 4" RV Bumpers # MNT47FR is not the only thing securing this to your bumper. There is also another bolt located underneath that secures the bottom side to the bumper. So in theory if someone were to steal this, they'd have to undo the tension bolt, as well as the bolt underneath the bumper. However, right now there aren't any locks that we have that will provide any additional security, however when you have hitch mounted...
view full answer... - Can Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack be Used on 5th Wheel Trailer With 4 Square BumperWhile we do have an option for you, the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack # SH22G is not rated for use on a 5th wheel trailer. It will physically work, but will void the warranty, and isn't designed to handle the amount of movement and bounce that occurs at the rear of a 5th wheel trailer, which is much more than a standard passenger vehicle. So instead, for a similar wheel-mounted bike rack that is rated for use behind a 5th wheel trailer, I highly recommend a rack from Yakima: - Yakima OnRamp...

If this is what you have then it will work well for you. It provides a 400 lb weight capacity. In many cases, the RV manufacturer limits the weight capacity of the rear bumper too severely unless the side brackets are welded. These reinforcement brackets are a great way to increase that capacity without the need for welding. If you don't already...

You'll need to start off by adding a hitch receiver to your bumper and for that I recommend the Mount-n-Lock HiLoHitch for 4" RV Bumpers # MNT47FR which gives you a 2" receiver with a 300 lb weight rating. Then for a bike rack I recommend the Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack # S94FR which has been rated for use at the back of a trailer (not all bike racks have this rating) and can hold up to 70 lb bikes. The E-Spec secures the bikes by using a ratcheting hook that comes...

That said, you will need to contact the manufacturer in regards to how much weight it can hold as we don't have those type of specs. It is very likely a hitch and bike rack is going to be just fine, though you won't want to use the Malone dual purpose hitch because it will reduce the capacity of your hitch receiver by one-half. So the best option for you to add a hitch...

Just a reminder, be careful when going through a dip. We did this last year, the bike carrier drug on the ground and was pulled out of the hitch. A kind, honest individual tracked us down and returned our rack and bikes. That could have been a very expensive mistake.
