Expert Reply:
Since there isn't a custom-fit option for your motorhome, the only possible option for a heavy-duty hitch would be a universal, weld-on type. There are three options from Curt for frames that measure up to 44 inches (from outside to outside), with the only difference being the drop they provide (the distance from the bottom of the frame to the top of the receiver
- 3" Drop: Curt Class 5 Universal Weld-on Hitch # 15901
- 9" Drop: Curt Class 5 Universal Weld-on Hitch # C47CR
- 18" Drop: Curt Class 5 Universal Weld-on Hitch # C99CR
To get the correct hitch, you'll just want to measure the width of your frame and how far below your frame the receiver needs to be.
