So the family and I went on our first trip this weekend with our new spirit 3379BH and new recurve R3 wdh, took a bit to get the rear end sag under control but got it set and had a great weekend, on our way home we were almost to the house, and heard a loud bang, and basically as photos show the adjusting bolt sheered through and all of the weight was back sitting on the toung. Very disappointing and depending on what the RV place orders as a compensation we will most likely be going with the 4pt Equalizer this week, for an extra 200 but I guess it's worth it if these are the issues we can run into.

Howdy, Brainstorming Rear Bumper Boxes with Motorcycle Hauler & Trailer Hitch Combo. The goal is to have a swing away system so you can open the back doors. Motorcycle / Mountain Bike Tailgate carrierRear Aluminum storage boxesTrailer HitchUpgrade rear suspension? Tail lights?Please drop links and photos below to help with this build. Then I will share results when this is completed. My dream setup is to have space for a mountain bike and 250cc Motorcycle or eMoto like these new Sur-Ron X Bikes - https://lunacycle.com/sur-ron-x-bike/ I would like to have boxes and a regular bike rack above the boxes, then motorcycle mount / trailer hitch off the back. I know Aluminess has some $$ options. I live in Washington State and Oregon NW area, so looking for area vendors. --Please post links, images, etc.--- Thank you!! Tim

Everything I can find seems to imply that his NV is up to the task, but safety first and all! It's a 2006 Jayco bunkhouse, a bit over 7,000#, and would be the perfect home and office on the road for myself and the nonprofit ProBoneO Program! Here are the details from the man with the van! Thanks in Advance! - DR and service dogs Riley & Mellow I have a 2012 NV 3500 HD SV Cargo. In the owners manual under towing load specification the GCWR with accessory hitch is 13,500 lb. and with tow package it is 16,000 lb. I don’t have a tow package. I want to add a class IV weight distributing hitch to the van. What is it about the factory installed tow package that lets one tow an extra 2500 lb? Is there any way I can do that with after market accessories? Any opinions about which hitch brands to use? Are the U-Haul hitches bad? Most of the travel trailers we look at have dry weights around 7000 lb. so I really need that extra 2500 lb. for stuff in the trailer and van. The 9500 lb. towing capacity was why I wanted the NV V8 but it seems like I was thrown because it looks like the towing package is standard from 2014 on.
