Question:

Im looking for a front mount trailer hitch for my 1999 Fleetwood Bounder with a Ford F53 chassis. Do you stock such an item. Everything I see states it will not fit my vehicle.

I have another option for you, but you are correct that there are not any custom fit front mount trailer hitch receivers confirmed to fit your 1999 Fleetwood Bounder Class A Motorhome built on the Ford F-53 Chassis, but that doesn't mean one can't be installed.

Instead you will need to go with a universal hitch like the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Receiver # 41990-07 which has 7" tall brackets or the # 41990-16 which has 16" tall brackets, and have a local fabrication shop fit it to your vehicle.

I included a video of the # 41990-16 for you to take a look at.
