Jim, you can use the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs # C13702. This hitch is adjustable so it will work with frames that have an 18" to 53" wide frame, a 5,000 GTW capacity, and 500 lb tongue weight capacity.
This hitch can be either bolted on with the included hardware, or it can be welded directly to the frame.
