Hitch for the back of my 29BHDB

In my old TT I used to carry my bikes inside the trailer for travel but I’d like to use my bike carrier with this new unit. I know there is hard points mounted under the frame. Looking for suggestions as to the most used type of hitch out there? Or should I just get the one from Jayco?

Currently have a 2018 Jayflight 29BHDB

Thanks in advance!

I bought safety struts by Mount-n-lock, and put a hitch on my bumper.

Just finished a 5000km trip from Ontario to Florida with 3 bikes on the back and the bumper was rock solid.

The bikes were shaking around like crazy, because I didn't have a hitch clamp but the bumper didn't flinch. (I have a review camera).

I will install a hitch clamp and that will make it rock solid.

Thanks! Do you happen to have a pic of your set-up?

My recommendation is to locate a local welding shop, and have make a custom hitch to be welded right to the frame. It will be a lot cheaper than having a dealer install it.
