Question:

Will this hitch work with the factory installed front stabilizer jack? I have a 2014 E-450 RV Sunseeker 3050S.

The Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65053 is confirmed to fit your Sunseeker RV built on the 2014 E-450 but whether or not it will interfere with factory installed stabilizer jacks will really just depend on exactly where they're located. Unfortunately this isn't information that RV manufacturers make available so you will just need to take a few measurements on your existing setup to make sure the clearance is available for this hitch.

Looking at pictures of the Sunseeker I don't foresee an issue but I definitely recommend checking to make sure. I have attached the written installation instructions along with a picture of the hitch mounted so you can see exactly where it will attach to the frame rails of your E-450. I went out to our warehouse and found that the mounting brackets on the hitch measure 7-3/4 inches long and 2-1/4 inches wide.

I have included an installation video that you can also use for reference.
