RV Bumper Receiver Hitches for Motorhomes and Campers
Towing a travel trailer or RV puts real demands on your hitch setup. Enthuze RV hitches are engineered to meet those demands, delivering the weight distribution and sway control you need to tow safely, whether you're navigating a highway on-ramp or pulling into a campsite after a long haul.
Weight Distribution Hitches with Integrated Sway Control
A weight distribution hitch with sway control reduces the dangerous side-to-side trailer movement caused by wind, road conditions, or passing vehicles — making it a must-have for RVs and travel trailers on long hauls. Enthuze weight distribution hitches are available in 10,000 lb. and 14,000 lb. ratings, giving you the right system for everything from mid-size travel trailers to larger fifth-wheel setups.
Built Tough, Designed to Last
Enthuze round bar weight distribution hitches feature forged steel spring bars for reliable strength, an adjustable heavy-duty head for precise leveling, integrated sway control attachment tabs, and a durable carbide powder coat finish. A grease zerk fitting keeps the system running smoothly across thousands of kilometres of Canadian road.
Easy Setup, Every Trip
The versatile 2" shank can be flipped for the required drop or rise, while hookup brackets and a lift handle make leveraging the spring bars fast and effortless. Spend less time fussing with your hitch and more time enjoying the drive.
The Right Hitch for Your RV Setup
Choosing the right weight distribution hitch means targeting a tongue weight that is 10 to 15 percent of your total trailer weight — too little and you risk unpredictable sway, too much and you stress your tow vehicle's rear axle. Enthuze's range of RV hitches covers the most common Canadian towing configurations, so you can match the right system to your specific rig with confidence.

FAQs: RV Hitches for Towing
What is an RV bumper receiver hitch and what is it used for?
An RV bumper receiver hitch is a Class 3 trailer hitch designed to mount to the rear bumper beam of a motorhome, travel trailer, or large camper. Unlike frame-mounted vehicle hitches that bolt to your truck or SUV's frame rails, an RV bumper hitch is engineered to clamp onto or mount to the RV's bumper structure. The 2"x2" receiver tube opening accepts a ball mount to tow most standard trailers, or a hitch-mounted accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier. Common uses include towing a dinghy vehicle (toad), a small utility trailer, an ATV, or mounting a hitch-mounted cargo carrier or bike rack at the rear of the RV.
What vehicles or RVs do Enthuze RV bumper hitches fit?
The Enthuze Class 3 RV bumper receiver hitch is designed to fit 4"x4" bumper beams, which is the most common bumper beam size found on Class A, Class C, and many travel trailer rear bumpers. Because RV bumper dimensions can vary by manufacturer and model year, it is important to measure your RV's bumper beam before ordering to confirm compatibility. If you are unsure about your RV's bumper size or hitch fitment, contacting Enthuze's support team before ordering is the recommended approach.
What is the towing capacity of the Enthuze RV bumper hitch?
The Enthuze Class 3 RV bumper receiver hitch accepts a ball mount to tow most standard size trailers, including utility trailers, single-horse livestock trailers, boat trailers, and large campers. As with all Class 3 hitches, towing capacity is ultimately governed by the lowest-rated component in the towing system — including the RV's bumper structure itself, which is often rated lower than the hitch. Always consult your RV owner's manual for the manufacturer's stated bumper tow rating and never exceed it. One special feature of the Class 3 is its compatibility with a weight distribution hitch, which can be used to better stabilize the load, though it does not increase the weight capacity.
Can I use an Enthuze RV hitch to tow a car behind my motorhome?
Yes, towing a dinghy vehicle — also called flat towing or four-down towing — is one of the most common applications for an RV bumper receiver hitch. The Enthuze Class 3 RV bumper hitch provides the 2-inch receiver tube needed to mount a tow bar, which is the connection point for flat towing a compatible vehicle behind your motorhome. Dinghy towing capacity is subject to both the RV bumper's structural rating and the tow bar's capacity, so always verify that all components in the system are rated for the weight of the vehicle being towed.
Is the Enthuze RV bumper hitch rust-resistant?
Yes — the Enthuze RV bumper hitch is co-cured in a rust-resistant liquid Bonderite coating and protected by a durable matte black powder coat finish. The Bonderite treatment is applied inside and out, providing corrosion protection on all surfaces — including internal areas that collect moisture and road salt. This two-layer protection system is the same used across Enthuze's full vehicle hitch lineup and is designed to hold up to years of outdoor exposure and seasonal driving conditions across Canada.
Is the Enthuze RV hitch safety tested?
Enthuze towing accessories are rigorously tested and meet or exceed industry safety standards. Each Enthuze hitch is custom-designed and tested in-house to ensure the highest quality product. The Class 3 receiver hitch design is tested in accordance with SAE J684, the industry standard for trailer hitch performance and safety. This testing verifies structural integrity, welds, and rated weight capacities before the product reaches the consumer.
Can I mount a bike rack or cargo carrier on my RV with this hitch?
Yes — the 2"x2" receiver tube opening of the Enthuze RV bumper hitch accepts hitch-mounted accessories including bike racks and cargo carriers, making it a versatile addition to any motorhome or travel trailer. This is a popular use case for RVers who want to bring bikes or extra gear without consuming interior storage space. Note that vertical hanging style bike racks — where bicycles are hung or mounted vertically — are not recommended and may void the manufacturer warranty on select Enthuze hitch models.
How does an RV bumper hitch differ from a fifth wheel or gooseneck hitch?
An RV bumper receiver hitch is a standard rear-mounted receiver hitch, functionally similar to the Class 3 hitches used on trucks and SUVs. Gooseneck hitches and fifth-wheel hitches are only necessary for the largest tow items, such as a large RV, livestock trailer, or flat deck trailer. An RV bumper hitch is the right choice when you want to tow a smaller vehicle, a light utility trailer, or mount accessories behind a motorhome or travel trailer — not for towing a fifth wheel RV itself. Fifth wheel and gooseneck setups mount in the bed of a pickup truck and are separate product categories from the RV bumper hitch.
How do I install an Enthuze RV bumper receiver hitch?
Enthuze trailer hitches include a link to their installation guide directly on the product page, so all the instructions you need are available before or after purchase. The RV bumper hitch mounts to the bumper beam using the included hardware. If the DIY installation seems beyond your experience or you don't have time, your local Action Car and Truck Accessories location in Canada can handle the installation for you. Most installations require only basic hand tools and can be completed in under an hour.
