First addition to the wagon, a hitch! Guy wasn't comfortable cutting my bumper, so it's sitting below it. Good thing I've 1 inch bigger tires

2", should be rated to 300 lbs / 3000lbs "or so" according to the guy that put it on. Had it custom made for $300. Also had him angle it up "half a bubble" for added clearance with stuff on it.

Shouldn't be too hard to find, look for welders too. Google and then just make some phone calls

Sweet! A great looking local wagon! Haven't bumped into yet. What have you done to yours? Looks like you've also owned it from new?

Nothing beats a factory installed hitch.

Nice! Unfortunately we don't get those here . Plus this one's rated at 300 lbs / 150kg hitch and my bike rack doesn't fit a ball as it's square . Kinda looking for an RV that isn't has heavy on the hitch as the typical American RV. Most RVs have around 300-500 lbs max hitch weight.
