Rodney, it does not look like the EcoHitch Hidden Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7904 is going to work with your 2024 Forest River Forester 2401B MBS.

It look like this motorhome was built on the Mercedes-Benz 3500 chassis and has a 170" wheelbase, so you are going to need to use the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75549 instead. This will work with the 170" wheelbase and a standard factory bumper, but if you have an the factory step bumper then you can use the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75601.

Bryce, It is a motorhome built on the Mercedes Benz 2500 chassis. I need a trailer hitch to go on the front of the motorhome. Your information that I need a Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75549 does not state it is a front mount. Can you confirm this or what hitch I need to mount on the front. Thanks for your help. Regards, Rodney

@RodneyG Yeah Rodney that is a rear hitch, so for a front hitch your only real option is to use the Curt Class V Universal Weld-on Receiver Hitch and Brackets with 10.865" Drop # 15902 which is a universal hitch that would need to be welded onto your frame.

@BryceD Thanks for your reply. I do not really want a welded hitch on front. I looked at the pictures and the brackets have to be welded onto the frame and receiver cross bar also. I'm only looking for a hitch to carry a bike carrier and two bikes. Really don't need a class V. Could get by with a class II. Thanks for your help. Regards, Rodney
