Expert Reply:
We do have a Class V trailer hitch receiver that will fit the frame rails of your 2009 Bluebird bus, although they are all weld-on applications as there isn't an option for a heavy-duty hitch that is bolt-on. The options are either a 3" drop or a 7" drop:
- 3" Drop: Curt Class V Universal Weld-on Receiver Hitch and Brackets # 15901
- 7" Drop: Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Receiver - Weld On - Class V # 41990-07
I have added links to the installation instructions of both hitches for you to check out as well
