Quoted from HighVoltage:I'm also in the market for a trailer. I was thinking of doing the hitch myself. What is the difference between these DIY kits versus what somewhere like UHaul does?
Anyone have experience with this Curt Class 3 Hitch? Looks like it can be picked up for around $100, much less than having an install done.
The hitch is the easy part. Usually the holes are already in the frame for mounting the hitch. It all depends on make and model of vehicle. The part that may take up the most time is the wiring. If you are lucky and have a vehicle that only needs the tail lights tapped into with adapters, it will go pretty quick. But, some harnesses need a 12v connection all the way up the battery in addition to the tailight adapters. While none of this is overly difficult, it can be time consuming depending on what you need to actually do.
