front trailer hitch
I notice that some B owners have receiver hitches on the front, how do they differ from the back and any particular models that B owners are using ? Thanks in advance.
Re: front trailer hitch
Got one for my 1999 b190 at the Uhaul Store. Class II . They had a coupon and I recall the hitch and installation was under $200.00. I use it for a hitch cage or the bike rack. The Stowaway Box always goes on the rear hitch so the radiator isn't blocked of air flow for these beasts

I have an opportunity to buy a Stowaway 2 for a good price that swings away allowing for the back door to open which is a real asset. Were you able to get the Stowaway 2 box on and still have the spare tire in place? If so did you have to get an extender for the hitch or did it just fit?
I plan on going to the Uhaul place and getting a front hitch so I can carry at least one bike because there are times that a bike can get me around and no need to unhook.

Howdy! I have a 1999 and the spare is inside the rig. If it doesn't fit by a slim chance, a hitch extender will do the trick.mountaindent wrote:SeaQuinn wrote:Got one for my 1999 b190 at the Uhaul Store. Class II .

Re: front trailer hitch
That Stowaway 2 looks great on the rig and will make it so much easier to transport the utilities, chairs, small mat, step stool and etc. while being locked. I look forward to the extra hauling space. Can not quite tell from the angle of the picture but, it looks like I will have to have a short extender to allow for the spare tire since I really do not want it inside at this point.
