Recommended RV Trailer Hitch for a 2008 Forest River Rockwood Pop-Up Camper
Question:
Hello, I am looking for a way to install a hitch on the back of a 2008 forest river rockwood premier 2516g pop up camper. It has a rear bumper that appears to be around 2 square diameter but Im not exactly sure. Could you tell me which specialty hitch would work? I would like to put on of your bike racks on it. Thank you so much

Expert Reply:
Since your 2008 Forest River Rockwood Pop-Up Camper has a smaller bumper, the best option would be to install a frame mount hitch for a bike rack. You will want to measure the outside to outside width of the trailer frame to determine which RV hitch will fit properly.
One option for an RV hitch is the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13701. This hitch is designed to fit frames 18 inches to 51 inches wide and features a 2 inch hitch receiver. The installation instructions for this hitch are linked to this page for you.
For a bike rack, our most popular RV approved hitch bike rack is the Swagman Dispatch Bike Rack # S44FR. This bike rack will accommodate up to 2 bikes for you. A review video of the rack is linked.
I've also attached a page to all of the RV approved bike racks.
