You can, but may void the frame warranty. I believe this is answered in the CR Website FAQ page. You will need to get a letter of approval from Lippert to CYA. I don't know the weight limits. I would not just install it on the bumper but attach it to the frame somehow.

Give Lippert's Service and Warranty Center a call. Give them the information on your unit and ask them if you can install a hitch without voiding your frame warranty. The number is 1-866-524-7821.

Our Cruiser has a hitch on it from the factory. It only has a 300 lbs weight limit though. That's good enough for a bike rack or a small boat.

That would be nice to look in the FAQ if it worked!! Searched for "hitch" and "frame" with no results for either. Seems the website doesn't work much better than some of the slide outs LOL.

He was not referring to this website. He means the FAQ on the Crossroads manufacturers website. I'm sure it would void your warranty. Call Lippert and Crossroads. Check your state regs if you can tow anything behind and rv trailer or 5th wheel and check the states that you will travel through. Many do not allow it.
Here's Crossroads website: http://www.crossroadsrv.com/

Modified the curt hitch and bolted to the rear bumper mount.
Based upon the weight I put on it I am not concerned about any damage to rear bumper mount. Only use it for the bike rack

X2 you can see the turn locks you tighten when they are deployed.

JT’s Strong Arm Jack Stabilizers - put them on the front and rear.
Drilling the frame was a pain. Be careful on the back or you will drill a hole in the water tank - it sits on the rear channel iron.
