  • 2018 Reflection 303 trailer receiver hitch

    I have a 2018 Reflection 303. My unit has the reviver hitch that is not made for towing. It’s bolted to the frame and has a 300 pound “tongue weight” capacity. I’d like to change it so I can tow my jet ski behind my fifth wheel.

    I noticed the new units have a receiver hitch welded to the bottom of the frame. Does anybody know the make and model number of that hitch?

    Thanks,

    TG

    It’s likely added by Lippert as the frame is built. You could contact them.

      tgordon Even the new welded one to the 303 is only rated for 300 lbs. If you look here https://gdrvowners.com/towing-and-hi...ir-carrier-mod post 12 that's the back of my 2021 303. The receiver tube extends out quite a bit from the crossbar that runs between the frame rails, which I think is part of the issue. Too much weight on the receiver and it will roll the tube down.

        A key difference between the earlier bolted on "load carrying" receiver and the later welded on "towing" version is that the earlier one does not have attachment rings for safety chains or a wiring harness for trailer lights.

          Mine is bolted on with four bolts. The new model was welded on at the bottom of the frame.

            I am in the same boat as you. Looking for the upgraded hitch. I read a post on here that the aftermarket hitch hangs down 3in more than stock hitch.
