Rear Hitch....
We went with the option of having a factory rear hitch on our 5er. However since we will be towing a Chevy HHR behind out 5th wheel just yesterday we stopped by a welding shop and had a professional take a look at our rear 2 " receiver. He said he though it was a very good job. However did have him put to supports one one each of the receiver tube, probably I wasted a some money but its a feel good thing for us. I believe that welding on the frames isn't a problem as long as the person who is doing the welding knows his business. Good Luck with you rear hitch decision. If I remember correctly the rear factory hitch was around $250.00 well worth the money if you don't do anything but have a bike rack there. GBY.....
