ABSTRACT:
A selectively convertible trailer hitch device is disclosed which is readily adapted for attachment to the rear bumper plate and the longitudinal frame members of most commonly used towing vehicles. The trailer hitch device includes a support frame having a built-up bottom section with a horizontal slot formed therethrough which is accessible to a slidably mounted draw bar. The draw bar has a plurality of longitudinally spaced holes drilled therethrough and a ball hitch mounted in one of the holes. At each side of the support frame is a rod and turnbuckle device interconnecting the support frame to the longitudinal frame members of the towing vehicle for transferring at least a part of the load carried by the draw bar from the bumper plate to the longitudinal frame members.
