South African Posted April 19, 2022 Report Share Posted April 19, 2022 We recently purchased a 2008 Keystone Everest. There is no bumper. Is it possible to install a receiver hitch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible to install a receiver hitch? Sure, but it's very important to verify that the frame is strong enough to withstand the forces needed to accomplish what you want it to do. You may need significant reinforcement. Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray,IN Posted April 21, 2022 Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 That is a question to ask the mfgr., if the owner's manual does not specifically address the question.

TXiceman Posted April 21, 2022 Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 The rear frame on these is very thin and cannot support much weight. I doubt if the manufacturer will provide much information. What are you planning to haul or pull?

Chalkie Posted April 22, 2022 Report Share Posted April 22, 2022 I think I would be very cautious with this. My much newer RV came with a hitch from the factory. However, it is clearly identified as an accessory hitch is only rated for 300 pounds. You may be able to get an answer from Keystone and if you know a good welder they might be able to offer good advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
