For a pop-up camper with a compatible rear bumper, my best overall pick is the Nilight 2-inch receiver for 4-by-4-inch bumpers, which pairs a common receiver size with a stated 3,500-pound capacity. The CURT 19100 is a strong alternative for buyers who want a recognizable fixed-hitch option, while the Stromberg Carlson CC-300 stands out for adjustable accessory positioning. The main tradeoff is between a straightforward bolt-on receiver and a more specialized design, with bumper dimensions and the hitch’s permitted use limiting every choice. A receiver mounted to a camper bumper is not automatically approved for towing a trailer, and capacity claims do not replace checking the camper maker’s specifications. Read on for how the 14 options differ and which details to verify before buying.

Key Takeaways
Bumper fit is the first filter: many picks target 4-by-4-inch beams, while several accommodate a 4-to-4.5-inch range and the reinforced cargo-rack option is listed for 3-to-4-inch beams.
Capacity figures are not interchangeable: several receivers state 3,500 pounds, while two listed bolt-on designs state 200 pounds; buyers must confirm whether the rating applies to towing, tongue load, or accessory load.
A 2-inch receiver describes accessory compatibility, not towing approval: bike racks and cargo carriers still need to stay within the camper bumper and hitch limits.
Installation style separates the lineup: fixed adapters dominate, while the Stromberg Carlson CC-300 offers adjustable positioning and the Ohuhu bolt-on model targets a wider bumper-width range.
Product naming can obscure meaningful differences: Nilight appears in both 3,500-pound and 200-pound versions, so compare the exact model and stated rating rather than relying on brand or appearance.

More Details on Our Top Picks
Nilight RV Bumper Hitch Receiver – 2″ x 2″ Square, Fits 4″ x 4″ Square Rear Bumpers, 3500 lb Capacity, Heavy-Duty Steel for Bike Racks & Cargo Carriers
For a pop-up camper with a compatible 4″ x 4″ square bumper, the Nilight pairs a standard 2″ x 2″ receiver with a stated 350 lb tongue-weight capacity, giving accessory buyers more headroom than the MaxxHaul 50173’s 200 lb limit. Its bolt-on installation avoids the welding option offered by the heavier Stromberg Carlson CC-300, which can make setup simpler when the bumper fit is right. The powder-coated carbon steel construction is intended to resist corrosion, while the receiver works with common bike-rack and cargo-carrier shanks. The key limitation is its use: despite the 3,500 lb gross trailer weight figure, the supplied description says this hitch is not intended for towing. I’d also check the camper bumper’s own capacity before loading accessories; the receiver’s rating cannot raise that limit.
Pros:- Standard 2″ x 2″ receiver fits many accessory shanks.
- Stated 350 lb tongue-weight capacity exceeds the MaxxHaul 50173’s 200 lb limit.
- Bolt-on installation requires no welding.
- Powder-coated carbon steel construction is intended to resist corrosion.
Cons:- Not intended for towing despite its listed gross trailer weight capacity.
- Fits 4″ x 4″ square bumpers, so other bumper sizes may not work.
- The camper bumper’s own load rating still limits safe accessory weight.
Best for: Pop-up camper owners with a 4″ x 4″ square rear bumper who want a bolt-on 2″ receiver for compatible accessories and value the stated 350 lb tongue-weight capacity.
Not ideal for: Owners with a different bumper size, or anyone seeking a hitch for towing; the listed fit is specific and the product is designated for accessories only.
- Brand:Nilight
- Model:92123B
- Receiver size:2″ x 2″
- Bumper fit:4″ x 4″ square
- Gross trailer weight capacity:3,500 lb
- Tongue weight capacity:350 lb
- Material and finish:Carbon steel; powder coated
- Weight:5.58 kg
- Warranty:2 years
Our verdict“Choose the Nilight for a compatible 4" x 4" bumper and accessory use when its higher stated tongue-weight capacity matters more than towing capability.”
MaxxHaul 50173 Hitch Receiver 2″ x 2″ Adapter for 4″ Square RV Bumpers
The MaxxHaul 50173 is the more restrained choice for a pop-up camper owner who wants to add a compatible 2″ accessory receiver without opting for a higher-capacity, heavier-duty setup. At 8 lb, it is lighter than the 46.9 lb Stromberg Carlson CC-300, and its alloy-steel construction has a powder-coated finish. Its stated 200 lb tongue-weight capacity is lower than the Nilight and Ohuhu receivers’ 350 lb figures, so I’d reserve it for accessories whose loaded weight stays within that limit and the bumper’s rating. There is an important boundary: the product description excludes both towing and cargo carriers, which narrows its usefulness compared with the Nilight’s listed accessory applications. The 90-day warranty is also shorter than the Nilight’s two years.
Pros:- At 8 lb, it is lighter than the Stromberg Carlson CC-300.
- Standard 2″ x 2″ receiver works with compatible shank accessories.
- Alloy steel construction has a rust-resistant powder-coated finish.
- Designed to install on a 4″ square RV bumper.
Cons:- The 200 lb tongue-weight limit is below the Nilight and Ohuhu models’ stated 350 lb capacities.
- Product description excludes cargo carriers as well as towing.
- 90-day warranty is shorter than the Nilight’s two-year warranty.
Best for: Pop-up camper owners with a 4″ square bumper who need a lighter receiver for permitted, modest-weight accessories such as a compatible bike rack.
Not ideal for: Campers carrying a cargo carrier or heavier accessory, or anyone needing towing capability; the description rules out cargo carriers and caps tongue weight at 200 lb.
- Brand:MaxxHaul
- Model:50173
- Receiver size:2″ x 2″
- Bumper compatibility:4″ square RV bumper
- Tongue weight capacity:200 lb
- Material and finish:Alloy steel; powder coated
- Weight:8 lb
- Warranty:90 days
Our verdict“Pick the MaxxHaul for a lighter, lower-capacity accessory setup, but skip it if you need a cargo carrier or more than 200 lb of tongue capacity.”
Stromberg Carlson CC-300 Adjustable Accessory Hitch – Black
The Stromberg Carlson CC-300 serves a different installation problem from bumper-specific adapters: its adjustable, universal-fit design can suit varied trailer and camper frames, rather than requiring the Nilight’s 4″ x 4″ bumper. It provides a 2″ hitch for accessories and can be bolted on as a Class I installation or welded for a Class II setup. That flexibility may help when a pop-up’s frame layout does not match a simple bumper receiver, but it brings more installation work than the bolt-on Nilight or the Ohuhu, which includes a hitch pin and cover. At 46.9 lb, it is also far heavier than the other listed options. This is an accessory hitch, not a towing solution, and a welded installation may call for professional help and careful fitment checks.
Pros:- Adjustable design can accommodate varied vehicle and trailer frame layouts.
- Creates a 2″ hitch for compatible bike racks and cargo carriers.
- Offers a bolted Class I or welded Class II installation approach.
- Alloy steel construction has a powder-coated finish.
Cons:- At 46.9 lb, it is much heavier than the Nilight or MaxxHaul receivers.
- Class II installation requires welding.
- Designed for accessories, not towing vehicles, boats, or other heavy loads.
Best for: Pop-up camper owners whose frame layout calls for an adjustable accessory hitch and who can accommodate the installation requirements or arrange qualified welding.
Not ideal for: Owners seeking a light, simple bolt-on bumper receiver or a hitch for towing; this model is heavy and intended for accessories only.
- Brand:Stromberg Carlson
- Model:CC-300
- Receiver size:2″
- Fit type:Universal
- Material and finish:Alloy steel; powder coated
- Item weight:46.9 lb
- Installation options:Bolted Class I or welded Class II
- Intended use:Accessories; not towing
Our verdict“Choose the CC-300 when adjustability for a nonstandard frame outweighs its substantial weight and more involved installation.”
Ohuhu RV Bumper Hitch 2″ Receiver Adapter with Hitch Pin and Cover
The Ohuhu is a straightforward pick for a pop-up camper owner who wants the small installation pieces included: the package supplies a hitch pin and rubber cover alongside the receiver. Like the Nilight, it fits a 4″ x 4″ bumper and lists a 350 lb tongue-weight capacity, so it offers more stated capacity than the MaxxHaul 50173. Its alloy-steel body uses both an E-coat and black powder coating for corrosion resistance, giving it a different finish approach from the Nilight’s powder-coated carbon steel. The tradeoff is the same narrow bumper fit: owners with another beam size should not assume it will work. The listing also gives a 3,500 lb gross trailer weight figure, but does not make that a reason to tow; I’d treat this as an accessory receiver and verify the camper’s bumper rating.
Pros:- Includes a hitch pin and rubber cover.
- Stated 350 lb tongue-weight capacity matches the Nilight and exceeds the MaxxHaul’s 200 lb figure.
- Dual E-coat and powder-coated finish is designed to resist rust and corrosion.
- Installs without welding.
Cons:- Compatibility is limited to 4″ x 4″ bumpers.
- The 350 lb tongue-weight limit still requires checking the camper bumper’s own capacity.
- The listing does not provide a separate accessory-specific load rating.
Best for: Pop-up camper owners with a 4″ x 4″ bumper who want a 2″ accessory receiver with its hitch pin and cover included.
Not ideal for: Owners with non-4″ x 4″ bumpers or buyers who need a towing hitch; fit is specific and the listing describes an RV bumper accessory receiver.
- Brand:Ohuhu
- Receiver size:2″ x 2″
- Bumper compatibility:4″ x 4″
- Gross trailer weight capacity:3,500 lb
- Tongue weight capacity:350 lb
- Material:Alloy steel
- Finish:E-coat and black powder coating
- Included components:Receiver, hitch pin, hitch cover
- Warranty:1 year
Our verdict“Choose the Ohuhu if your bumper measures 4" x 4" and you value a supplied pin and cover over broader fitment information.”
RV Bumper 2‑Inch Hitch Receiver – Fits 4‑Inch Beam, 3500 lb Capacity – Compatible with Bike Racks, Cargo Carriers, Hitch Hammocks and Other 2‑Inch Receivers
The CROSSHIP receiver’s clearest advantage is its complete mounting package: the listing includes installation hardware and a hitch cover, so a buyer does not have to source those items separately. It fits a 4″ x 4″ square bumper and is listed for 2″ accessories, including bike racks and cargo carriers. Its stated 3,500 lb capacity figure looks substantial, but the supplied data does not give a tongue-weight rating, unlike the Nilight and Ohuhu, each listed at 350 lb. I would not use that missing figure as an invitation to load it heavily or tow. The double-coated, powder-finished high-alloy steel is intended to resist rust, though installation may take longer than the bolt-on Nilight. Check the camper bumper’s own capacity before choosing an accessory.
Pros:- Includes mounting hardware and a hitch cover.
- Fits standard 4″ x 4″ square bumpers and 2″ receiver accessories.
- High-alloy steel has a double-coated, powder-coated finish.
- Listed for bike racks and cargo carriers.
Cons:- No tongue-weight capacity is supplied, unlike the Nilight and Ohuhu.
- Installation may take time and requires basic tools.
- The camper bumper’s own load capacity must be checked separately.
Best for: Pop-up camper owners with a 4″ x 4″ beam who want mounting hardware and a cover in the package for a compatible 2″ accessory receiver.
Not ideal for: Buyers who need a stated tongue-weight limit or a confirmed towing application; the provided data gives neither a tongue-weight rating nor clear support for using its capacity figure as a towing rating.
- Brand:CROSSHIP
- Receiver size:2″
- Bumper compatibility:4″ x 4″ square beam
- Listed capacity:3,500 lb; capacity type requires confirmation
- Tongue weight capacity:Not provided
- Material:High-alloy steel
- Finish:Double-coated, powder-coated
- Package includes:Receiver, mounting hardware kit, hitch cover
Our verdict“Choose the CROSSHIP for its included mounting kit and cover, but favor a model with a stated tongue-weight rating if you need clearer load guidance.”
Nilight RV Bumper Hitch Receiver, 2″ x 2″ Heavy-Duty Steel, fits 4–4.5″ Bumpers, 200 lb Capacity
The Nilight is the flexible-fit pick for pop-up camper owners who want a 2 × 2-inch receiver for accessories, not a towing hitch. Its bolt-on design accommodates 4- to 4.5-inch bumper beams, giving it a wider fit range than the puxyblue, which is limited to 4 × 4-inch bumpers. The 200-pound tongue rating suits appropriately rated bike racks or cargo carriers, but the listed 2,000-pound gross trailer figure does not make this model suitable for towing: Nilight explicitly limits it to accessory mounting. Powder-coated carbon steel and included mounting hardware help simplify installation, and the hitch cover keeps the receiver opening protected when unused. Choose another option, such as the CURT 19100, if you need a hitch specified for towing; choose this Nilight when bumper fit flexibility matters more.
Pros:- Fits 4- to 4.5-inch bumper beams, offering more size flexibility than the puxyblue.
- Standard 2 × 2-inch opening accepts many compatible accessory mounts.
- Includes mounting hardware, a hitch pin and clip, and a protective cover.
- Powder-coated carbon steel construction.
Cons:- Specified for accessory mounting only, not towing.
- The 200-pound tongue rating limits the supported accessory load.
- Bumper fit alone does not confirm that the camper structure can handle a loaded rack.
Best for: Pop-up camper owners with a 4- to 4.5-inch bumper who need a bolt-on receiver for compatible accessories.
Not ideal for: Buyers who plan to tow a trailer or need more than 200 pounds of tongue capacity.
- Receiver size:2 × 2 inches
- Compatible bumper width:4–4.5 inches
- Gross trailer weight capacity:2,000 lb; accessory mounting only, not for towing
- Tongue weight capacity:200 lb
- Material:Carbon steel
- Finish:Powder coated
- Item weight:3.76 kg
- Warranty:2 years
- Included items:Receiver, 5/8-inch hitch pin and clip, mounting hardware, hitch cover
Our verdict“Choose this Nilight for accessory mounting on a 4- to 4.5-inch bumper, but skip it if your pop-up camper needs a towing-rated hitch.”
puxyblue RV Bumper Hitch Receiver Adapter (4″ x 4″ to 2″) – 3500 lb Capacity
The puxyblue suits owners whose pop-up camper has the exact 4 × 4-inch steel bumper this adapter requires. It converts that beam to a familiar 2 × 2-inch receiver and lists 3,500 pounds gross trailer weight and 350 pounds tongue weight—ratings that exceed the accessory-only Nilight and Ohuhu models. That makes its stated capacity more versatile, but those figures are not a substitute for checking the bumper, camper frame, and every connected component before towing. Fit is the tradeoff: unlike the CURT 19100, this model calls for specific mounting holes, so a matching bumper dimension may not be enough. Its no-welding installation and included pins keep setup straightforward for a compatible beam. I’d shortlist it for a precisely matched bumper, not for campers with 4.5-inch beams or uncertain hole spacing.
Pros:- Lists 3,500 lb gross trailer weight and 350 lb tongue weight capacities.
- Converts a compatible 4 × 4-inch bumper to a standard 2 × 2-inch receiver.
- Installs without welding using basic tools.
- Includes a 5/8-inch hitch pin, spring pin, and a 2-year warranty.
Cons:- Fits only 4 × 4-inch square steel bumpers.
- Requires compatible mounting holes, narrowing fit beyond bumper size alone.
- Its listed capacities do not override lower ratings on the bumper, camper, or connected equipment.
Best for: Owners of pop-up campers with a 4 × 4-inch steel bumper and compatible mounting holes who want a higher-rated receiver option.
Not ideal for: Campers with 4.5-inch or differently sized bumpers, or owners who cannot confirm that the bumper and frame support the intended load.
- Input bumper size:4 × 4 inches
- Receiver size:2 × 2 inches
- Gross trailer weight capacity:3,500 lb
- Tongue weight capacity:350 lb
- Material:High-strength steel
- Finish:Black powder coated
- Installation:Bolt-on; no welding
- Included components:Hitch receiver, 5/8-inch hitch pin, spring pin
- Warranty:2 years
Our verdict“Pick the puxyblue when your bumper and mounting holes match and you want higher listed capacities than the accessory-only Nilight or Ohuhu.”
Ohuhu Bolt-On RV Bumper Hitch Receiver Adapter for 4–4.5-Inch Bumpers
For pop-up camper owners who only need a receiver for a rack or carrier, the Ohuhu keeps the proposition simple: bolt-on installation, a 2 × 2-inch opening, and a 200-pound tongue limit. Its 4- to 4.5-inch bumper fit resembles the Nilight, so it suits a broader range of beam widths than the 4 × 4-only puxyblue. The included pin and rubber cover are useful basics, while the option to mount it upside down may help with positioning when the camper’s layout permits. That flexibility does not remove the stated one-inch clearance requirement between bumper and trailer, which buyers should check before ordering. Unlike the CURT 19100, this Ohuhu is expressly not for towing, and its shorter one-year warranty offers less coverage than the Nilight’s two years.
Pros:- Fits 4- to 4.5-inch bumpers, like the Nilight, rather than only 4 × 4-inch beams.
- Installs without welding and can be mounted upside down.
- Includes a hitch pin and rubber receiver cover.
- Carbon steel construction with a powder-coated finish.
Cons:- Not intended for towing.
- 200-pound tongue capacity limits the load available for accessories.
- Requires at least one inch of clearance between the bumper and trailer and has a one-year warranty.
Best for: Pop-up camper owners who want a basic, bolt-on receiver for compatible accessories and have at least one inch of mounting clearance.
Not ideal for: Buyers who need a towing-rated hitch, more than 200 pounds of tongue capacity, or a fit outside the specified bumper range.
- Compatible bumper size:4–4.5 inches
- Receiver size:2 × 2 inches
- Tongue weight capacity:200 lb
- Towing use:Not intended for towing
- Material:Carbon steel
- Finish:Powder coated
- Installation clearance:At least 1 inch between bumper and trailer
- Included components:Bumper hitch receiver, hitch pin, rubber cover
- Warranty:1 year
Our verdict“Choose the Ohuhu for straightforward accessory mounting if its clearance and bumper-fit requirements work for your camper.”
YZONA RV Bumper Hitch Receiver, 2-inch Tow Hitch Trailer for 4″ x 4″ Rear Beams, 3500 lb Capacity
The YZONA is aimed at pop-up camper owners with a 4 × 4-inch rear beam who want a bolt-on receiver carrying listed ratings of 3,500 pounds gross trailer weight and 350 pounds tongue weight. Those figures put it alongside the CURT 19100 and above the Nilight and Ohuhu accessory-only receivers, but the product data gives less fit detail than the CURT’s named bumper dimensions and SAE J684 testing. I would verify the actual bumper construction, mounting points, and component ratings before treating its towing language as permission to tow. Its powder-coated carbon steel body is a practical match for outdoor use, though the 4.24 kg unit adds weight to the rear beam. No ball mount or other accessory is included, so the receiver is only one part of the setup.
Pros:- Lists 3,500 lb maximum towing capacity and 350 lb maximum tongue weight.
- Bolt-on installation requires no welding.
- Powder-coated carbon steel is suited to outdoor exposure.
- Accepts 2-inch shank accessories.
Cons:- Fit is specified for 4 × 4-inch rear beams, limiting use on other bumper sizes.
- At 4.24 kg, it adds weight to the camper’s rear bumper.
- Does not include a ball mount or other accessories, and the product data does not specify the SAE J684 testing stated for the CURT.
Best for: Pop-up camper owners with a compatible 4 × 4-inch rear beam seeking a bolt-on 2-inch receiver with higher listed towing and tongue capacities.
Not ideal for: Buyers who need a supplied ball mount, have a bumper outside the stated fit, or want the additional testing detail specified for the CURT 19100.
- Compatible rear beam:4 × 4 inches
- Receiver size:2-inch shank
- Maximum towing capacity:3,500 lb
- Maximum tongue weight:350 lb
- Material:Carbon steel
- Finish:Powder coated
- Weight:4.24 kg
- Installation:Bolt-on; no welding
- Included accessories:No ball mount or other accessories specified
Our verdict“Consider the YZONA for a compatible 4 × 4-inch beam and higher listed capacity, but verify camper and component ratings before towing.”
CURT 19100 RV Bumper Hitch for 4-Inch Bumpers, 2-Inch Receiver
The CURT 19100 is the clearest choice in this group for buyers who want a towing-oriented, 2 × 2-inch receiver and value documented testing. It fits 4 × 4-inch RV bumpers, lists 3,500 pounds gross trailer weight and 350 pounds tongue weight, and is tested to SAE J684 standards—a distinction not stated for the YZONA, despite that model’s matching capacity figures. Its dual-coat finish is designed to resist rust, chipping, and UV exposure, and the limited lifetime warranty is longer than the other products’ stated coverage. This is not a universal answer for every pop-up: the bumper and all connected components still set the real limit, and CURT notes that it is not compatible with vertically hanging bike racks. Compared with the accessory-only Ohuhu, it is better suited to towing use, but rack style and bumper rating need careful checking.
Pros:- Tested to SAE J684 standards.
- Lists 3,500 lb gross trailer weight and 350 lb tongue weight capacities.
- A-coat and powder-coat finish is designed to resist rust, chipping, and UV exposure.
- Limited lifetime warranty and bolt-on installation hardware.
Cons:- Fits 4 × 4-inch bumpers only.
- Not compatible with vertically hanging bike racks.
- Actual towing capacity is limited by the lowest-rated bumper or connected component.
Best for: Pop-up camper owners with a compatible 4 × 4-inch bumper who want a towing-oriented hitch with stated SAE J684 testing.
Not ideal for: Owners with vertically hanging bike racks, non-4 × 4-inch bumpers, or a camper bumper whose rating is below the intended load.
- Model:19100
- Bumper fit:4 × 4-inch RV bumper
- Receiver size:2 × 2 inches
- Gross trailer weight capacity:3,500 lb
- Tongue weight capacity:350 lb
- Finish:A-coat and black powder coat
- Testing standard:SAE J684
- Warranty:Limited lifetime
- Bike rack compatibility:Not compatible with vertically hanging bike racks
Our verdict“Choose the CURT 19100 if your camper has a rated 4 × 4-inch bumper and you want a towing-oriented receiver with specified SAE testing.”
Camco Eaz-Lift Square RV Bumper Hitch (48473)
The Camco Eaz-Lift suits pop-up owners who want a receiver for a bike rack or cargo carrier without drilling into the bumper. Its clamp-on installation and anti-rattle bolts make it easier to remove or reposition than the bolt-on TOPTOW, which uses four threaded bolts. The tradeoff is a narrower fit range: Camco is specified for 4-inch or 4.5-inch square bumpers, while the TOPTOW also targets those sizes but uses a more fixed bolt-on setup. Camco’s 200-pound limit is for non-towing accessories, not a trailer connection, and the bumper itself must also be rated for the load. Choose it for removable accessory duty; skip it if you need a towing hitch or a permanent, bolted mount.
Pros:- Clamp-on installation avoids drilling or permanent bumper changes.
- Anti-rattle bolts help limit accessory wobble and noise.
- Powder-coated steel helps resist corrosion during outdoor use.
Cons:- Rated only for non-towing accessory use.
- The 200-pound capacity can restrict heavier racks and cargo.
- Compatibility is limited to 4-inch or 4.5-inch square bumpers.
Best for: Pop-up camper owners with a 4-inch or 4.5-inch square bumper who want a removable mount for a lightweight bike rack or cargo carrier.
Not ideal for: Owners who need to tow a trailer, carry loads above 200 pounds, or have a bumper outside the stated 4-inch and 4.5-inch sizes.
- Model:48473
- Receiver size:2 inches
- Maximum weight capacity:200 lb
- Compatible bumper:4-inch or 4.5-inch square RV bumper
- Material:Powder-coated steel
- Installation:Clamp-on; no drilling required
- Dimensions:7.75 inches (T) x 8.375 inches (W)
- Warranty:Limited 1-year
Our verdict“Choose the Camco if removable, non-towing accessory use matters more than a fixed bolt-on installation.”
TOPTOW RV Bumper Hitch Receiver for 4 in to 4.5 in Beams, 2 in Receiver – Fits Bike Racks and Cargo Carriers
The TOPTOW is a practical pick for a pop-up camper owner whose bumper measures 4 to 4.5 inches and who wants a conventional 2-inch receiver for accessories. Four full-threaded bolts and nuts create a fixed mount, unlike the removable clamp-on Camco Eaz-Lift. That bolt-on approach may appeal to buyers who prefer a secured installation, but it takes more effort to remove and calls for checking the bumper’s construction and load rating before use. The stated 200-pound tongue weight capacity supports accessory use, not trailer towing; its listed maximum pull force does not make it a towing hitch. A hitch pin or lock is also absent, so factor in compatible securing hardware. I’d choose TOPTOW over Camco for a bolted setup, but not for broader beam compatibility.
Pros:- Fits 4-inch to 4.5-inch bumper beams.
- Four threaded bolts and nuts provide a bolt-on installation.
- 2-inch receiver opening accommodates compatible racks and carriers.
- Powder-coated steel finish helps resist corrosion.
Cons:- Not suitable for towing a trailer.
- Hitch pin and lock are not included.
- The 200-pound accessory limit requires checking both bumper and accessory ratings.
Best for: Pop-up camper owners with a 4-inch to 4.5-inch steel bumper beam who want a fixed receiver for a compatible bike rack or cargo carrier.
Not ideal for: Buyers who need trailer-towing capability, a receiver for a different beam size, or a package that includes a hitch pin and lock.
- Receiver opening:2 x 2 inches
- Compatible beam size:4 inches to 4.5 inches
- Tongue weight capacity:200 lb
- Maximum pull force:200 lb
- Material:Heavy-duty steel
- Finish:Black powder coating
- Included hardware:Four full-threaded bolts and nuts
- Hitch pin:Not included
Our verdict“Pick TOPTOW for a fixed, bolt-on accessory receiver on a compatible 4-inch to 4.5-inch bumper.”
Bolt-On RV Hitch Receiver – 2″ Adapter for 3-4″ Camper Beams, 200 lbs Reinforced Cargo Rack & Bike Mount
This receiver stands out for its laser-cut reinforcing ribs and robot-welded carbon-steel construction, a design aimed at limiting flex when carrying a bike rack or cargo carrier. Its stated fit range of 2-inch to 4.5-inch bumper beams is broader than the Camco Eaz-Lift’s specified 4-inch or 4.5-inch fit, though buyers still need to verify the actual mounting dimensions and hardware arrangement. The 200-pound limit keeps it in the same accessory-use class as TOPTOW, not in trailer-towing territory. The reinforced build may suit a rack that tends to wobble, but it does not raise the load rating or override the bumper’s own limit. Choose this model for its reinforced construction; choose Camco if easy removal matters more.
Pros:- Laser-cut ribs reinforce the receiver structure.
- Robot-welded carbon steel is designed for a rigid connection.
- Broad stated compatibility covers 2-inch to 4.5-inch bumper beams.
- Includes hardware for bolt-on installation.
Cons:- Not intended for towing trailers despite the capacity terminology in the listing.
- The 200-pound limit restricts heavier accessory loads.
- Fit still depends on confirming the bumper’s dimensions and rating.
Best for: Pop-up camper owners who want a bolt-on receiver with reinforced construction for a compatible bike rack or cargo carrier and whose beam falls within the stated fit range.
Not ideal for: Owners seeking a trailer-towing hitch, carrying more than 200 pounds, or unwilling to confirm beam dimensions and bumper load limits.
- Compatible vehicle type:RV
- Receiver adapter:2-inch
- Stated beam fit range:2 inches to 4.5 inches
- Maximum accessory load:200 lb
- Material:Carbon steel
- Finish:Brushed
- Installation:Bolt-on with included hardware
- Intended use:Cargo racks, bike racks, and other accessories; not trailer towing
Our verdict“Choose this receiver for reinforced, bolt-on accessory support when its beam fit and 200-pound limit match your setup.”
Zejoot RV Bumper Hitch Receiver Adapter, 2-Inch
The Zejoot is aimed at owners with a standard 4 x 4-inch RV bumper who need a 2-inch receiver for a bike rack or cargo carrier. Its defined bumper fit is less flexible than the Bolt-On RV Hitch Receiver’s stated 2-inch to 4.5-inch beam range, so measuring first matters. The listing gives a 3,500-pound maximum capacity, but also says this adapter is not for trailer towing; I would not treat that figure as permission to tow or as the safe load for a camper bumper. Check the bumper and accessory ratings before fitting it. Bolt-on installation avoids welding, though unlike Camco’s clamp-on design, this is not presented as an easily removable mount. Pick it only when the bumper fit is confirmed.
Pros:- Designed for compatible standard 4 x 4-inch RV bumpers.
- Provides a standard 2-inch receiver opening for accessories.
- Bolt-on installation requires no welding.
- Powder-coated finish helps resist rust and outdoor wear.
Cons:- Not intended for trailer towing despite the listed maximum capacity figure.
- Fit and clearance need checking before purchase.
- Actual safe load depends on the bumper and accessory ratings.
Best for: Pop-up camper owners with a compatible 4 x 4-inch bumper who need a bolt-on 2-inch receiver for non-towing accessories.

Our verdict“Choose Zejoot only if your bumper is a confirmed 4 x 4-inch fit and you need an accessory receiver rather than a towing hitch.”
How We Picked
I ranked these options around the problems a pop-up camper owner needs to solve: matching the rear beam, choosing a suitable receiver arrangement, and carrying an accessory without exceeding the camper’s limits. The strongest candidates are those with a clearly stated fit range, a familiar 2-inch receiver opening, and a declared capacity that can be checked against the intended load. I treated adjustable positioning and broader fit ranges as useful advantages when they address a real setup constraint, not as automatic signs of higher quality.
The order also reflects how much buyers can verify from the supplied product details. Models with a specific beam size and capacity rank ahead of listings with less complete specifications; the 200-pound options can still suit lighter accessory setups, but their narrower stated capacity limits their role. These are bumper-mounted receiver products, not a blanket endorsement for towing: I would confirm camper-manufacturer approval, installation instructions, fastener requirements, and the exact load rating before use.
Factors to Consider When Choosing Hitch For Pop Up Camper
Choosing a hitch for a pop-up camper starts with the camper, not the accessory you hope to attach. The product labels in this roundup can help narrow the field, but they do not settle whether a bumper can carry a rack, carrier, or trailer load. Use these checks to avoid buying a receiver that fits physically but does not fit your intended use.
Measure the Bumper Beam, Not Just the Receiver
Measure the bumper beam’s outside dimensions at the intended mounting point, then compare them with the hitch’s stated fit range. A receiver advertised for a 4-by-4-inch beam may not clamp securely onto a narrower, wider, rounded, or non-square member. Check for welded brackets, trim, spare-tire mounts, and other obstructions that could prevent the hitch plates from sitting flat. Listings that cover 4 to 4.5 inches offer more flexibility, but that range does not mean every bumper in it has enough structural strength. Avoid trying to compensate for a poor fit with improvised spacers or altered hardware. If the beam shape or construction is unclear, ask the camper maker before ordering.
Match the Rating to the Actual Load
Do not treat a stated 3,500-pound capacity as permission to put that load on a camper bumper. Product listings may refer to different load categories, and a receiver’s rating cannot raise the camper’s own limits. Find the hitch’s rating for the specific use—such as tongue weight, vertical accessory load, or towing—and compare it with the camper and bumper documentation. Account for the accessory’s weight as well as everything carried on it. A long bike rack or cargo carrier can place more leverage on the bumper than a compact load, even when the total weight looks modest. If a listing does not make its rating and intended use clear, choose a better-documented option or get written guidance from the manufacturer.
Separate Accessory Carrying From Trailer Towing
A 2-inch receiver opening tells you what shank may fit; it does not establish that the assembly is designed or approved for towing. Many products in this roundup are presented for bike racks and cargo carriers, so do not infer towing capability from the word “hitch” or from a large capacity number. Towing brings different forces, including repeated pulling and braking loads, and the camper’s rear structure may not be built to handle them. Check the product instructions and the pop-up’s owner manual for explicit approval of the intended use. If you need to tow another trailer, use a setup rated for that job and approved for your camper. When the documentation is silent, treat the receiver as an accessory mount only.
Choose Fixed or Adjustable Positioning for a Reason
A fixed receiver is usually the simpler choice when the bumper location gives a rack or carrier adequate clearance. An adjustable design, such as the Stromberg Carlson option in this group, may help when accessory height or positioning needs more flexibility. That flexibility adds parts and setup decisions, so it is not useful if a fixed mount already clears the body, lights, spare tire, and access panels. Check how the accessory will sit when loaded, not only how the empty receiver looks. Pay attention to clearance during turns, access to the camper door, and whether a rack blocks lights or a license plate. Choose adjustability to solve a measured fit problem rather than as a feature to collect.
Check Installation and Bumper Construction
Bolt-on mounting can avoid welding, but it still depends on the beam and hardware being suitable for the clamping forces. Read the installation steps before purchase and confirm that the listed fasteners, required tools, and access to both sides of the bumper match your setup. A thin or lightly built camper bumper may not safely support an accessory just because a receiver can be attached to it. Inspect the bumper for corrosion, prior repairs, cracks, and movement before fitting anything. Follow the manufacturer’s torque and maintenance directions, and recheck fasteners at the intervals it specifies. If installation requires drilling, welding, or structural changes, consult the camper maker or a qualified installer first.
Plan for Rack Leverage, Clearance, and Storage
The accessory and its load affect handling as well as the receiver. A rack mounted far behind the bumper creates leverage, and bikes or cargo can shift or sway if they are not secured for road travel. Confirm the receiver pin size and accessory compatibility, then check that the loaded setup does not obstruct lights, the plate, or required access points. Consider whether the rack must be removed before opening the camper or reaching storage compartments. A removable, simpler setup may suit occasional trips better than a permanently mounted carrier, while frequent use may justify a more convenient arrangement. Keep the load balanced and within the lowest applicable limit among the accessory, receiver, bumper, and camper.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use any 2-inch RV bumper receiver to tow a small trailer?
No. A 2-inch opening indicates receiver size, not approved towing use. Several products in this roundup are described for carrying bike racks or cargo carriers, and that does not establish a towing rating. Check the receiver instructions, camper manual, bumper rating, and any separate tongue-weight or towing limits. If the product maker does not explicitly approve towing with that model, do not use it to pull a trailer.
How do I know whether a 4-by-4-inch hitch fits my pop-up camper?
Measure the bumper beam itself where the hitch will mount, including its outside width and height, and note whether it is square or has unusual contours. Then compare those measurements with the exact model’s fit range and mounting instructions. A nominal 4-by-4-inch measurement does not confirm that the beam is strong enough or that brackets will clear nearby parts. If the beam is welded, reinforced, or shaped differently from the listing’s examples, ask the camper manufacturer or hitch maker for confirmation before installation.
Why do similar-looking receivers list 200 pounds and 3,500 pounds?
The numbers may describe different load limits or reflect different product designs, and the listing details provided do not always explain the rating category. Do not compare the figures as though they automatically refer to the same kind of load. Look for separate limits for towing, tongue weight, and supported accessories in the product documentation. Then use the lowest applicable rating among the hitch, bumper, camper, and accessory. If the rating’s meaning remains unclear, treat that uncertainty as a reason to ask the manufacturer rather than assume the larger number applies to your rack or trailer.
Is an adjustable hitch worth choosing over a fixed receiver?
An adjustable model can help when a fixed receiver would leave an accessory at the wrong height or interfere with nearby camper features. It offers less benefit when a standard fixed mount already provides proper clearance and access. Before choosing, check the loaded rack position, visibility of lights and plate, door access, and whether the adjustment mechanism adds restrictions in the instructions. More movement options also mean more parts and setup points to check. Choose adjustable positioning to address a real geometry problem, not simply because it sounds more versatile.
What should I do if my pop-up camper bumper has no published load rating?
Do not assume the receiver’s rating can stand in for the bumper’s capacity. The bumper and its attachment to the camper may be the limiting parts, especially with a cantilevered rack or carrier. Check the camper owner’s manual and contact the manufacturer with the camper model and the accessory load you plan to carry. A hitch installer may help inspect the mounting area, but an inspection alone does not establish manufacturer approval. Until you have reliable guidance, avoid loading the bumper-mounted receiver.
Conclusion
For most buyers with a verified 4-by-4-inch bumper and an accessory-only use case, I would start with the Nilight 3,500-pound-listed receiver as the best overall fit in this lineup, while checking its documentation and the camper’s limits before use. The puxyblue 3,500-pound-listed adapter is my best-value-style pick for buyers who want a straightforward receiver and have a matching beam; compare its exact instructions and rating details before deciding. For a premium-oriented setup, the Stromberg Carlson CC-300 is the standout when adjustable positioning solves a real clearance issue. Beginners who want a familiar fixed format can start with the CURT 19100, provided the bumper dimensions and permitted use match. For wider beam compatibility, look at the Ohuhu bolt-on receiver; for a lighter accessory setup, the 200-pound-rated Nilight or reinforced cargo-rack option may fit the brief, but only within the confirmed limits. My final filter is simple: verify beam fit, load category, and camper approval before choosing by brand or capacity headline.
