    Default Trailer Hitch

    I am looking at a 2019 RTL to come home in a month or so

    I see a couple of different trailer hitches out there
    - Can-Am
    - CASA Home Brand (RT Trailer Hitch 2018-2019)

    I am going to tow my Aspen Classic camper

    Anything I should look for?

    Also looking for the wiring harness with the five wire output as both trailer have separate turn signals

    I also have an Aspen Classic. For me, it was easier to change the Aspen plug to a four pin. I have a BRP hitch.

    I bought my hitch and 5 pin harness from Value Accessories, a vendor here. Installation was easy and I have had no issues with this setup.

    I bought my hitch from Can Am Spyder Accessories as well as their wiring system. I did have to change it to a 5 pin plug which was easy. I tow a 1995 Hannigan Europa l.
    Things to watch for, your mileage will go down from solo, but you knew that. Watch your braking distances, drive a little slower. Also since the hitch mounts to the swing arm your trailer will move up and down with the wheel, so look out for bumps and make sure your stuff in the trailer wont move around. Happy camping.

    Happy TRAils/NSD

    I bought me trailer hitch from Canamspyderaccessories, Pierre from Quebec. I like it because it's a solid 1 piece hitch.

    For the 5 pin harness I bought the Show Chrome one. It was the only 5 pin I could find. They sell them on Amazon.
