Expert Reply:
The available trailer hitches designed for use on RVs are not rated high enough to be considered Class IV or V hitches. So what you will need is to install a heavy duty truck hitch. We have several options, see link, depending on the frame width on your RV. For example hitch # 41991-07 is a Class V weld-on hitch that fits a frame width up to 62 inches wide.
Frame width is measured from the outside of one frame rail to the outside of the other. Any weld-on options should be installed by a professional welder.

I'm trying to find a class 4 hitch for my Ford F-53 chassis, problem is I measured the frame rails , they're only 34" outside to outside. I know Curt makes one because a friend of mine had one installed on their motorhome that is exactly like mine.
