Trailer Hitch

[rodgtc]

Did a search no luck. I am looking to put a trailer hitch on my 05 LT to pull a camper I just purchased. Any suggestions? I have looked at a picture at hitch doc and there hitch looks low. Also any wiring ideas?

Thanks Rodg

Go to www.dauntlessmotors.com for the best hitch for the LT. They also supply the wiring harness adapter.

I'll second the vote for www.dauntlessmotors.com (http://www.dauntlessmotors.com/). I have a Dauntless hitch with adapters for conventional as well as UniGo trailers and love it.

I'm surprised you couldn't find any archives on hitches, you may want to try again.
I found enough to keep me busy for several hours.
There are many choices, the two better ones are Dauntless and Bushtec.
Regarding wiring, just be sure to purchase the isolator relays to safeguard the LT's electronics, available from both afore-mentioned manufactorers and some auto parts stores.

Does installing an OEM trailer hitch void your BMW warranty?

Does installing an OEM trailer hitch void your BMW warranty?

I guess the best answer is maybe. BMW does not recommend pulling a trailer with any of their motorcycles. If BMW feels that towing a trailer contributed to the cause of whatever failure you are trying to get covered under warranty then they can void it for that repair. If your windshield motor dies then it would be hard to make that connection. Unfortunately pulling a trailer could affect the frame, brakes, engine and pretty much all the running gear.

But then again overloading the bike can void the warranty too. It would just be harder for them to know or prove that it had been overloaded.
