Frequently Asked Questions

What is a hitch RV?

A hitch RV is an ultra-lite travel trailer that rides on one axle and must be towed behind a tow vehicle, which is often a heavy-duty truck. Hitch RVs attach to the rear of a tow vehicle and are a fun way to bring a mobile campsite with you wherever you go, so you don’t need to set up and break down at every stop.

How much does an RV hitch cost?

For a price quote on an RV hitch, please get in touch with our dealership. Our auto mall stocks a wide selection of new and used RV hitch models for sale. We can tell you about our current inventory and what works best for your vehicle. Generally, hitches can range from a few hundred dollars to well over $1,000 for a more sophisticated hitch.

How often should you replace your trailer hitch?

We recommend replacing the trailer hitch on your RV every spring so you’re ready to go for the summer season. By installing a new trailer hitch on your RV each spring, you know you’re ready to crisscross the country and safely flat-tow a second vehicle behind your RV. This appointment is also an ideal time to schedule your annual RV maintenance appointment.
