I have the through the bumper hitch made for our coaches. I must say it fits like a glove. Nice job on the design. Cutting through the bumper was interesting. Not a job for a reciprocating saw. I used a angle grinder with a thin blade and that cut it easily. Tough stuff. If the rear drags, it is not the hitch.

I drilled two holes in each bumper half to make the corners round and then cut the bumper on a band saw. The whole cutting job took about 10 minutes. Removing the bumper took longer. I replaced all of the bolts with stainless ones while I had it off.
