Question:

I am looking for a product similar to BWPMHD 14202 but as a hitch receiver femalethat will accept a 2inch drawbar hitch. The same backplate and hole spacing as the 14202. 2inch receiver on 8 hole plate Ideally the receiver tube and backplate would be 6inch overall length or similar. The vehicle has a 4inch square beam across the back with 4 centrally positioned predrilled 1/2inch holes with pintle hook spacing - 3 3/8inch horizontal centres 1 3/4inch vertically. The trailer weight is 4600 lbs and the ball load 550 lbs. I am looking to flat tow a small vehicle behind a motorhome using an A frame Like the Roadmaster Falcon All terrain with 2inch drawbar. I would really appreciate any help you can provide.

It sounds like you're needing something like the Buyers Products # 3371804055 receiver tube/mounting plate. The receiver itself is super strong, with a 20,000 lb towing/2000 lb tongue weight capacity, but the hitch will only be as strong as the structure you're bolting it to, so it'll be up to the person installing it to determine if the beam you mention can handle the weight of the vehicle you're wanting to tow.

The bolt hole spacing is compatible with the dimensions you provided, 3-3/4 horizontally on center, but the vertical spacing is 3-1/2 inches. The receiver tube itself is 6-1/2 inches in length. You can see the dimensions in the photo I've provided.

I've linked you to a product description video featuring the plate mounted receiver.
