Hey Mark, thanks for reaching out, and cool bus! The Curt # C13016 hitch you mentioned is for the 1978 - 1996 Chevrolet Van which generally excludes the school bus models. What I can tell you is the # C13016 hitch is 40.87" wide from hole to hole, so what you could do is compare this to the frame of your bus. As long as the width is good, the mounting holes are present on the frame and there are no obstructions the hitch can be used.
If the width of your frame is different, the Adjustable... view full answer...
For the 1983 GMC Vandura 2500, I recommend using the Curt hitch item# C13016 because the hitch crossbar is concealed behind the bumper and has a higher towing capacity of 6k lbs. I've included a link for the installation instructions.
If you are also looking for a wiring harness I would recommend the Tekonsha kit # 118338. view full answer...
The custom trailer hitches we have available for your 1995 GMC G20 Van, such as the Curt Class III # C13016 that you were looking at, do indeed feature pre-drilled holes that are designed to line up to existing holes in the van's frame rails and bumper.
If your van doesn't have the existing bumper bolts and nuts that are used to secure the front of the hitch you will need to drill into it (and obtain the necessary hardware) to make this connection. I really can't recommend passing this... view full answer...
To replace your current double waste valve you'll just need the Double RV Waste Valves - Heel Inlet - Rotating - 3" Hub and 1-1/2" Hub # T68 and some Valterra ABS Solvent Cement - 1/4 Pint # A05-0303 for a secure connection. view full answer...
For your 1993 GMC P30 step van you are going to want a multi-fit hitch as there are no custom fit hitches confirmed to fit your vehicle.
I would recommend the Curt Hitch part # 13703. This hitch can fit vehicle frames that are between 22 and 72 inches. As long as the width of your frame fits within that range this hitch would work well for you.
For ball mounts I recommend the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, a hitch pin with clip, and a carrying bag. view full answer...

The main difference between the Curt Reflex Trailer Brake Controller part 51130 and the Curt TriFlex Trailer Brake Controller part # C24VV is that the TriFlex has a triple-axis accelerometer with nine boost settings and the Reflex has a dual-axis accelerometer with four boost settings. The triple-axis accelerometer is going to provide more uniform braking than the dual-axis accelerometer and the extra boost settings are going to allow you to really fine tune the braking power output to... view full answer...
The bolt holes on the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75121 are spread 41" on center from the drivers side to passenger side frame. The 2 closest holes are spread 1-5/8" on center with the single hole being 8-5/8" from the nearest mounting hole as seen in the image I created below. view full answer...
For an RV application the # 41990-16 is an option as this is a great multi-fit hitch typically used for service body trucks. Since we know that the P30 chassis has 34 inches between the frame rails this hitch should fit just fine since it has 16 inch drop brackets that can weld anywhere on the 44 inch wide crossbeam of the hitch.
If you needed a hitch with less drop in the mounting brackets the part # 41990-07 has a bracket height of 7 inches instead. view full answer...
The Curt Class III Receiver Hitch # C13016 referenced in your question is indeed rated for use with a weight distribution system. When a weight distribution system like the Reese Steadi-Flex # RP66560 you referenced is used with the hitch its towing capacity increases to 10,000 pounds and its tongue weight limit increases to 1,000 pounds (compared to 6,000 and 600 respectively without a WD system).
Please just keep in mind that you will still always be limited by the capacities of the... view full answer...
A Class V (5) hitch has a higher towing capacity than a Class IV (4) as the higher the Class the higher the capacities basically.
For your 1993 GMC Van the highest hitch Class we offer is a III like the # C31016 which has a 6,000 lb trailer towing capacity and a 600 lb tongue weight capacity. view full answer...

The main difference between the Draw-Tite Hitch # 75121 and the Draw-Tite Hitch # 41121 is the towing capacities of each hitch when a weight distribution system is being used. The # 75121 has capacities of 7,500 lbs GTW and 750 lbs TW when used with weight distribution, whereas the # 41121 can handle 10,000 lbs GTW and 1,000 TW when used with a weight distribution system.
I attached installation instructions that apply for both hitches for you to check out.

Since your GMC vehicle was given the RV modification treatment and now has additional components not found on the standard version I think your safest bet is to use an adjustable RV hitch that gives you some installation flexibility. Odds of an interference issue are greater with a custom-fit hitch.
Our range of frame-mount RV hitches appears on the linked page and these products include both weld-on and bolt-on hitches with various weight capacities. These are made to fit a range of frame... view full answer...

Hello Tenika. It is possible that the Buyers Products 2" Hitch Receiver For GM Express/Savana with Cutaway Chassis # 3371801102 could fit your 1995 Vandura GMC G3500 School Bus.

I suggest you compare these measurements... view full answer...
A good starting point for your brake controller installation is to review the two attached FAQ articles concerning brake controllers and their wiring and installation. These will provide the information you need to determine parts required and how to install them.
For newer vehicles we can often supply a manufacturer-specific wiring harness to connect your brake controller to your vehicle brake control port, but we do not have a custom wiring harness specified for your 1995 GMC van.

I attached a picture that shows the frame dimensions that the Bike Bunk part # CC-275 is designed to fit for you to check out and compare to your 1972 Argosy Airstream. As far as overall height goes this will add 33-1/2 inches direcly above the top of your frame rails on your trailer. So basically, you'd need to find the spot on your trailer frame that fits the range you want to use in the attached picture and measure 33-1/2 inches above that to determine if the window of your trailer would... view full answer...
