Awesome, much appreciate the report. I'm sorry your daughter has to live in a storage facility. Okay, just kidding, really! But why do they build garages in front of perfectly nice townhouses?

I know, I know... gonna get some flak for this, but I'm willing to be the guinea pig here.

My contribution...
So, not long ago, I bought a used Waverunner, and had to install a hitch to my 2016 Volt. I got the 2000lb rated one from eTrailer.
I backed up my Volt onto some Rhino ramps, but then decided to jack up each side, to remove the wheel in order to more easily access the screws in the wheel well. I used this spot under the spring to jack. Probably not recommended, but it looked like a safe place to jack from so I did it.

I was able to just push in the wheel well liner to access the one 7mm with a wrench, since I didn't have a socket in that size.

The electrical has plug-in connecters, but you have to push in the rubber gaskets in order to push the connectors out, then put the gasket back. On the left it was hard but doable. On the right, if you have a subwoofer installed, it's nigh impossible to get your arm back behind there to pull the gasket out.

With everything removed, the under tray is very dirty.

The 2000lb hitch seems to fit better on the rightside than the 1000lb hitch, as the flange sticks down to cover the exhaust bolts.

So, the completed install looks like:

And, I went and got my Waverunner over the weekend, 850lbs for the Waverunner and 250lbs for the trailer, so about 1100lbs in total.
![Land vehicle Vehicle Car Mid-size car Transport]()
I averaged about 41mpg doing 70mph on a cold day in charge-sustaining mode on the highway to get it, and about 25mpg on the way home doing 65mph, so I finished with 33mpg roundtrip.
Pulls fine, no issues whatsoever.
