I used Ray's idea to make a hitch. I bought a Curtix 11214 hitch, which is for a Hyundai. It was $165 with shipping. Came with a reciever but I think it has too much of an offset.
I used a piece of 1" box tubing under the rear bumper mounts and secured with u-bolts. The hitch then bolts to the tubing and to the floor pan of the car. Really looks great too. The flange where the hitch bolts to the tubing is 12 in wide so it really helps to strengthen the tubing.
Blade will put up some pics on the blog later. No cutting but I did have to bend the tail of the hitch down to conform to the floor of the Sonett. Should pull the 350lb trailer without issue.
Hope to go over to Carlisle import with the Sonett and trailer and camp over night!
Stil need to run the lights yet.
