Brick and Mona are avid Boondockers, love "Glamping" but still like to experience the down and dirty off grid camping - look for us and say hi. We are easy to spot just look for 25 feet of shiny Air-Aluminium towed by a Dragon Red F-150HD FX4.

Hi
Just stumbled on your site from Air Forums. I like your trailer rear hitch idea. How was it installed? Because of the underside enclosure aluminum piece. How do you get to the frame.
I liked your info on Vancouver and BC, heading there after WBCCI Alaska Caravan.
Thanks, Arnold

I guess it was not quite clear – #9 Hitch Storage is a bolt-on/weld-on to the A-frame on the front near the Battery box found on Amazon (Towever 83801 RV Bumper Hitch Receiver 2″ Adapter for 4″ – 4.5″ Travel Trailer Rear Bumper)
Just a place to store the WD hitch rather than leave it on the truck. This way its out of the way when at a campsite for an extend period of time. Nothing like 50# of WD hitch hanging from the rear of the truck when going to the store ?
