I took 4 through the bumper Blaine Merrell trailer hitches to the GMCMI rally. I came back with 2 of them.
So I do not have to transport them back to Blaine's (300 mile round trip), I'm offering them to anyone interested at $50 off with no sales tax and if you pick one up in Northwest Indiana, no shipping. If you want one shipped I'll take it to Fed Ex and ship it Fed-EX ground. That the cheapest way as these weight almost 50 pounds each.
Call me, PM me, or email me if you are interested. If I do not get any takers, I'll cart these back to Blaine's in a week or two so this is not a long term offer.

Heck of a deal.

I would tell you to take one of these but you already have one of these on your coach. I do not know what you would do with the second one.

Mike,
If you're not towing a heavy-tongued trailer, you can easily make a
through-the-bumper hitch like mine:

About 3' of 3" angle iron, a receiver tube, and a couple of triangular
gussets, all melted together, are about it.

Nice work.
Maybe I do this on my "keeper" coach. (I would need to get MUCH better at welding of find someone who is.) It would be nice to have the option of using a "RV mount" tow bar.

Just a quick thank you to Ken! He met me just off the interstate and I was able to pick up my hitch today - truly a great product and a wonderful individual to help like this.
It's so great to have the GMC community to help us, I can't imagine what it would be like without people like Blaine and Ken!

The trailer hitches are gone. If you contacted me about them, I'll get back to you on Monday with the shipping details.
