Use this hitch immobilizer to keep your ball mount or hitch-mounted accessory from rattling and shifting in your receiver. Great for tow bars, high-low adapters, bike racks, cargo carriers, and more. Quick, simple bolt-on installation.
Features:
Specs:
Nearly every hitch setup suffers from a bit of slip. This free play between your trailer hitch receiver and your hitch-mounted accessory is completely normal, but it's also completely preventable. By adding the Quiet Hitch to your setup, you can stabilize your hitch-mounted accessory as it sits in the receiver to eliminate rattle, sway, and all that extra play.
Just slip the Quiet Hitch over your tow bar, hitch adapter, ball mount, or other accessory. When you slide the accessory into the hitch receiver, position the U-bolt around the collar on the bottom of your hitch receiver. Then place the bar on top of the accessory shank and tighten the nuts onto the U-bolt. As you tighten the Quiet Hitch, the shank of your accessory will be pulled down towards the bottom of the receiver opening, thus securing it in place within the tube.
If you are going to use the Quiet Hitch with a weight distribution system, the setup will be opposite. Position the U-bolt around the top of the hitch receiver and place the bar on the bottom of the weight distribution shank. As you tighten the nuts on the Quiet Hitch, the shank will be pulled up towards the top of the receiver to help balance the downward force that is placed on the hitch from the weight distribution system.
Benefits for a Tow Bar
Using an anti-rattle device, such as the Quiet Hitch, is recommended when flat towing a vehicle. Besides reducing wear and tear on your tires, hitch receiver, and tow bar, using an anti-rattle device can help prevent more serious problems. A small amount of free play at your hitch may not seem like much, but this sway is magnified the farther back you go. A little movement at the hitch translates to a lot of movement at the rear of your towed vehicle. By using the Quiet Hitch, you eliminate this sway at the source.
Note: If you have a towing setup that includes a drop receiver or a high-low adapter, use 2 immobilizers to make your system as secure and rattle-free as possible. Use 1 Quiet Hitch at the connection point between the adapter and your hitch, and use the other where your tow bar slides into the adapter.

Kevin: Today we're going to be taking a look at part number RM-062. This is the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch for 2 1/2 inch trailer hitches. This unit is going to keep your hitched on accessories stable and secure. It's going to help eliminate rattle and sway within the hitch receiver. It's going work great for hitch adapters and tow bars. This is designed for flat towing only.
This not designed to handle any ton weight. Really simple operation and installation. It simply just bolts on quickly and easily. This is designed to fit most 2 1/2 inch by 2 1/2 inch trailer hitch receivers. To go over a few measurements real quick, outside to outside, that's going to give us a measurement of 5 1/8th of an inch. Inside to inside is going to give us a measurement of 4 3/16ths of an inch.
With these nuts backed off as far as possible, with that bar set all the way back, from this point here to this point here, it's going to give us a measurement of 3 9/16ths of an inch. Again, this is designed for flat towing only. If you have towing set-up that includes a drop receiver, a Hi-Lo adapter, you'll want to use two of these units to make your system as secure and rattle free as possible. You can use one quiet hitch at the connection point between the adapter and your hitch. Then, use the other where your tow bar slides into your adapter. Really simple operation. All you have to do is take the nuts off.
This one's on there pretty good. Once you get all of those removed, you're going to place the portion right here, the U-bolt, this is going to behind the collar of your hitch. Your shank or whatever is mounted inside your hitch is going to go through this point here. This bar is going to come down on top of that shank, so it is going to sit at an angle. Now, you can install this either way, with the threads pointed up or the threads pointed down, depending on your vehicle and how much room it allows you.
Once you have that in place, as you tighten these down it's going to push this against the shank of your hitch mounted item. Which is either going to be able to push it down against the bottom of the inside of your receiver tube, or it's going to push it up against the inside edge of your receiver tube. That's how it's going to eliminate the rattle or wobble that we experience inside of our hitch. Now, in the instructions, it does give torque ratings for each of these nuts so you can get those tightened down to the torque rating as indicated in the specifications listed by the manufacturer. That's going to do it for today's review of part number RM-062. This is the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch for 2 1/2 inch trailer hitches. .

The hitch rattle device made by Roadmaster was not up to the job for my travel trailer. The tongue weight of the trailer was too much for it. In short time the steel u-bolt yielded and would not stay in place after. 589440
by: James01/16/2018
Great product. I have 2 suggestions for improvement: 1. All trailer hitches I've seen are black - both the receiver and the hitch. Please make this product black. The first thing I did with mine was had it powder coated black because painting it will just scratch off. 2. Shorten the length of the bolts just a little, There is over 1" of excess bolt on each side. You could save money in materials by shortening the bolts. 467700
I love the product. The only recommendation that I have is that I would offer it in a Black Powder Coat Finish - that’s what I did to mine.

Solid piece and works as advertised 572142
by: Paul03/10/2018
This product took all the rattle out of our hitch. The trailer we pull does not have much hitch weight so every bump in the road was felt. I recommend this product as it solved the problem. 483452
by: Chris09/20/2016
The product is the Roadmaster quiet hitch. I'm already putting it to use on our motorhome car towing apparatus and so far it appears to work well. Kudos to etrailer.com for an excellent shipment tracking page, easily accessible by the web page link in the shipping confirmation e-mail that was sent to me. 296574

Excellent product - takes all of the play out of the hitch. 573671

I used a hitch extension, so I needed two RM-062. Easy to install. Completely seizes the extension and the hitch. No rattle at all. Secondary lock nut works well. Shipped on time. Priced right. etrailer great to deal with. Downside, the recommended torque setting is too much. 477891
by: Dan P06/13/2017
These folks are extremely helpful, and they don't waste any time getting the product out the door. 5+ star service! 392887
Using both 2 and 2-1/2 versions, both have been solid...no loosening and no rattles.
Dan P - 06/13/2018by: Christopher06/20/2018
This is a really great product, I only wish the u-bolt was ridiculously thicker. For the majority of applications, this product will work perfectly. 4 stars for the product and 5 for etrailers customer service. etrailer was great about putting a hold on my order and notifying me because I bought a 2 1/2” anti-rattle clamp and a 2” receiver mount. I called them and told them the items were not going to be used together and my order was at my front door in less than a week. 524394

Just received and installed the quiet hitch. Very solid, sturdy material. Very impressed with the quality and stoutness of this bolt system. Hasn't seen road vibration/use yet and a little concerned it might vibrate loose (doubt this will happen after reviewing other customer comments), but for now I'm impressed. 466778

No more trailer hitch clunking when pulling out. Re-assuring. 87660
We are very happy with the product.

As there were several types of the item I needed Jamie help me pick out the best one for my trailer setup. As always it arrived on time and in good shape. Thanks etrailer. 559725
by: Barryd01/28/2017
Order process was easy and quick. Delivery was prompt. I have not towed with the device yet. Initial examination indicates this is a well made device. I purchased both sizes, so I am ready to roll with any of our vehicles. 336312
Works fine, no rattles.

I had a Quiet Hitch for my 01 Dodge and it worked great. When I upgraded to my 2014 it had a 2-1/2in receiver. I purchased the larger Quiet Hitch and am very happy with it. It does everything the product info says and then some. Great product and easy to install. Would recommend it to anyone who pulls a trailer. 265341
by: Roadmaster Quiet hitch RM-062 (for 2.5 hitch)07/12/2015
Large for 2015 SD Ford 2.5" hitch but still steadies bike rack and hitch mounted mud flaps well. A bit of work/time tightening/loosening to take on/off. You could probably make one cheaper. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to eliminate rocking hitch play/noise. 211124
by: Dan Q07/08/2016
This reciever clamp seems to be well made and heavy duty. It will lock the ball mount and the Rock Tamer stone guards into place and keep them from wiggling in the reciever mount. I wish that the nuts would be nylon lock nuts though, then it wouldn't need two nuts to tighten. I installed it and am now just waiting to try it out. This is just another product from Etrailer that I bought and am happy with. I will keep shopping for more stuff. 269607
by: Thomas08/05/2018
Set it up per the instructions and torque to specs, arrived at campsite and unhitched the trailer, and it was loose. Locknuts still tight, but the unit flopped around. Went ahead and tighten the bolts again, ignoring the torque spec, when I got home and unhitched it was loose again. Not impressed by this product, and would not ever buy again. 550332
This Road Master Quiet Hitch does require a collar or ring on your hitch opening to have a surface to attach to. If you do not have a hitch receiver with a collar the Roadmaster quiet hitch will not stay attached.

Product appears and feels high quality, I’ve mounted it, but haven’t pulled with it. We typically pull dump trailers with roofing debris, lots of weight..... If I haven’t updated this review with anything negative, it’s good to go. 496179

Product still does not cancel out hitch movement. I ended up using this product plus two others to finally achieve the anti rattle. 489240

I have several of these anti-rattle kits, I use them all the time. They are a must have if you do not like hearing the hitch rattle around while driving/towing. I would recommend this item to others. 458680

by: Jimmie01/31/2017
Stops the rattle well Installed in about 2 minutes Was actually a little wide for the receiver Interferes with the safety chain hook up just a little but worth it to eliminate the rattle 337371
by: DeltaBill12/29/2016
Really like this product. After trying others that just did not do the job I was very happy that I found this Roadmaster Quiet Hitch. I purchased from etrailer both the 2" for my SUV and the 2-1/2" for my 2500 truck with a Class V hitch. They work GREAT! 328603
by: John11/18/2016
Works well. It keeps hitch quiet and secure. Be sure and torque to specs. for a balanced fit. 317671
No issues whatsoever. No rattles or movement on a 2500 HD which tows a variety of trailers.

Just make sure you don't have to change our ball hitches regularly. 292802
by: John O07/22/2016
Very simple, effective, rugged device. Completely stops the 'rattles' from the play in receiver inserts. I have a 2.5" and a 2" one to use on two different trucks. Works great. 275032
by: Mike B09/02/2015
Good product, took all the rattle out of the ball hitch! 223647
by: Greg K07/19/2015
Works well, but on a Ram 2500 with the OEM hitch mount you have to be a little innovative. Neither end will fit between the hitch mount and the bumper. You have to run the U-bolt from the bottom through the safety chain bracket and put the bar on the top. You cannot use both nuts, nor can you put a lock nut under the flanged nut, but I used some loctite and haven't had any problems yet. 212931

by: Rob S.09/27/2014
If you have a single axle trailer this is a must. Works great on all other as well to eliminate the hitch from moving around and making a ton of noise. I own two. 153360

This device fit on a 41 inch extention on a camper. It solved the movement and slack in the hitch connection pulling a 3000 lb boat. 153235
