Can this be mounted to any RV that did not have one from factory? What supports the weight of some one pulling on it?

Jeff I cant answer the first question but the instructions will show you exactly where to attach it. It will hold, no problem.

I have installed one on both of my trailers and love them. The supplied screws are plenty strong enough once they are in the studs.

I mounted mine so the top was above the existing helper handle and the bottom was below. This puts it on the same door channel as the OEM.....No problems....If you run out of length on your basement door hangers when the SC handle is folded away, you can buy longer hooks for the catches. jrf

It's only as good as the material it is screwed into. The screws are large, so they are not the weak link. But there is no nuts and washers. In fact, if your camper walls are not thick enough, the screws could protrude to the other side. You might check first to see what you have to anchor this into. The constructions of RV's vary quite a bit.

I mounted it on a 30 foot Minnie Winnie motor home with no problem, my wife loves it , she has problems going up and down stairs. It mounts real easy and I think it will mount on any RV, trailer or motor home.

I wouldn't think so, but check your owners manual to see if towing is allowed. If so, it will give you the lbs. allowed.

I've used mighty mounts on three different factory racks. You just have to check vehicle fitment. I think Yakima stopped making these so you have to refer to old catalogs.

WE flat towed a 1988 GMC full-sized truck 625 miles to and from Florida and I feel sure that's heavier than your car. Can't comment on the installation because it wouldn't work on my Subaru Outback without expensive modifications to my car but the tow bar worked great. Very easy for one person to hook-up to the tow vehicle then to the RV.

To get the answer to your question go to the PullRite web page, they have complete compatability listings there. It's a great hitch for a short bed pickup.

The brackets in the kit are designed for mounting on a flat surface such as a roof. The roof material of an RV will likely be very thin and will require special plugs to screw the brackets into. Check out the Renogy web site for info about this. I mounted my panels on the bimini top of my sail boat so did not use the brackets that were supplied, however they seem sturdy.

Highly recommended because of weight bearing part. Mine lined up perfectly for the factory mounting locations.

Hmmm, although I have not tried it . Mine came with a steel bar to attach so a trailer could be pulled and having hefted it I know it would work for a tow hitch . But, personally I want my trailer hooked directly to my tow bar .

Could always try a hardware store or camping store they have a few good sturdy mounting brackets, just check the weight they take.

The brackets are actually pretty beefy. I put it on my 98 jeep with no problems. Not sure on what you plan on towing but if it's under 5000 pounds then you have no problem.

I don't know how strong the mount is, but a backing and thru bolt would work. I mounted two of them for a BBQ, one on each side of my boat, in addition to fishing. Wayne

I don't understand why Amazon directs these types of questions to customers when there is clear answer to them. If an item is recommended and rated to do a certain job, then abide by that. I would not use this mount at all if the weight of your unit exceeds the recommended limits set by the manufacturer.

I don't know about an RV, but I very easily attached mine to a fence. I'm sure you can attached it to practically anything as long as you have two secure locations to bolt/screw it to.

Your question would better be directed at either: 1)The professionals at Draw-Tite. (extension use already cuts vehicle's tow capacity by 50%) Can only assume you indicating flat four towing? Not your vehicle aboard a trailer behind your RV type of towing? 2)Your RV owners manual? And/Or the manufacturer of the hitch that is on your RV Lastly probably never ask the "professionals" here on Amazon.

I am not affiliated with the design or production of these devices so I do not know the weight limitations.I just know that we have a 25' 5500 pound RV that we use them with. One will lift one side of the RV with no indication of collapse concerns.The only thing I'd say about these is you need an offset wedge to insert once the vehicle is lifted upto keep it from trying to roll back off of the wedges. Their other product has these additional wedges so I don't know why the additional wedges are with one product line but not another.

Answer to all three is yes, at least in my case. Do recommend getting a floating gage that shows when it is full. Got one from local RV dealer for a couple bucks. Finally, as noted, it is heavy.

You will need a rear mounting bracket, or a block of wood or something. You'll have to ask the manufacturer what kind of mounting bracket.
