Mounting Rear Receiver Hitch

Hi All!! This is my first post in this forum, so be nice

I am wanting to install a 2" receiver hitch to my rear frame of the fifth wheel. I'm looking for pointers and suggestions on this. I'll be using it to carry a bike rack with 3 children's bikes and possibly in the future a cargo tray, never for towing a trailer.

Should the hitch be bolted and welded?

Has anyone done this on their rig? Pictures?

Any and all suggestions are welcome.

Thank You!

Try doing a search on the forum. We have discussed this many times and there are pictures and lots of suggestions.

Here are some pics of mine.

Keep in mind when you install a hitch on the rear or do any frame modifications it will void the frame warranty per Lippert.
