Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
They may be ok for a lighter RV but no way would I use one at or anywhere it's max ratings. I see no way to lock RV to the hitch. You will get bed deflection with heavy load. Just compare side by side to a B&W for example.
Have not seen one but have viewed it on line. It appears to be light weight. I personally would not have it. It may be all right for a light weight 5ther but I would not recommend it. We use "jack stands" at work to support pipe. They are built very similar. They have great downward load supporting. No lateral loading. If a leg gets damaged, slight bend, it would collapse under load. I know some will praise them. They are light, easy to remove. That is not a plus.

I use their rapid hitch .. and have for years. Regularly bumper pulled 12k on the 10k hitch.. no issues.. ever.
I would think you would want a weight distribution hitch.. used one when I had to back mt Jeep w/ Dana 60's into my cargo trailer.. so the engine was at the rear..
Worked great.. the good ones are about 500.. but worth the money.
