    Rockwood 2205S "Real" Hitch Weight

    I know that the advertised hitch weight is 530#, but I was wondering what others have found the hitch weight to be after the trailer is loaded? I am in the market for a WDH and want to buy the correct size. Thanks

    Trailer Hitch Mod

    Looking for some help. I currently use a receiver mounted bike rack to carry our e-bikes. I'd like to also pull a small trailer at the same time. Has anybody welded a second receiver tube below the factory one? Is that even a reasonable idea? Thanks,
