Question:
My friend has a 2003 Dodge 1500 conversion van that has lots of decorative plastic components on the exterior. I see some of your offerings of tow hitches are for installation under standard or step bumpers What should I look for concerning his conversion van? His vehicle sits 100 miles away, so Im winging this from memory.

For your friend's 2003 Dodge 1500 Conversion Van, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame # 75140 is a great option that will fit well. The plastic components on those conversion vans are mostly on the front, sides, and wheel wells. It really doesn't utilize anything other than the standard rear bumper which this hitch will fit very well.
If you will be towing with this hitch, I recommend the Tekonsha 4-Pole Hardwire Kit with Circuit Tester # 18252 which also includes the quick splice connections.
Finally, for a ball mount I recommend the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount # BWTS10037B. This is an adjustable ball mount with a 2 inch and 2-5/16 inch hitch ball option. It also has a really nice storable feature to give you a clean look and also save your shins from impact when it is not in use. This will allow you to tow multiple trailers level without needing to measure or have tools on hand each time. I recommend using a hitch lock like # e98882 to secure your investment.
