Check etrailer.com for a frame mounted receiver hitch.
DO NOT use the bumper mounted hitch, the bumper is/was designed to hold your sewer hose & nothing more.

Many, many years ago I took my pop-up to a metal fabricating / small engine repair shop and they fabricated a frame mounted receiver hitch for me. They did a fantastic job, everything was custom fit for the pop-up frame.

However, the down side was, when I loaded 4 bicycles on the tail of the pop-up, the front probably had less than 100 pounds on the tongue. It was my first and last experience with severe fishtailing at the mind-blowing speed of 35 miles an hour!

So, I paid a couple hundred dollars to fabricate a really great install receiver hitch and never used it. Oh well. Lesson learned!

I had a shop weld a hitch on our previous 5er. It cost around $400 and was rated at 350 lbs.
