Hello!

Any good leads on a good deal for a trailer hitch? (bikes, bikes, bikes!) Right now I'm thinking I'll need to head up to Vancouver to find one!

Thanks in advance,
Scott

I did bought the same from Steven (RisingSun) and it it direct fitting, solid and, of course, hold my 2 inches bike rack easily. He did ship it from BC to Québec at a reasonable cost so should be about the same for you :)

Thanks guys!

Also, a very fun fact: ***The first person to make it to U-Haul's Tempe, Arizona facility with an L300 will get a free trailer hitch.***

I called up U-Haul to see if they had a hitch for a Mitsubishi Van (USA model).... they said "No, BUT if you bring your van (or Delica) to their facility, the FIRST hitch they make will be given to you for free as compensation for letting them use your van for a fit check.

So... Let the race to Tempe, Arizona begin!... and then once that is over... we Americans get buy a hitch from U-Haul.

My plan is to beef up the rear bar thingy a bit and weld a receiver to that. It should hold 2 bikes fine. No towing. I'm also going to weld a receiver to the front for the kids bikes. That bar is much stronger than the rear. Should have that wrapped up in a few weeks.
