Hello George,
Yes, it sounds like you most likely have a 2" receiver, the measurement is taken inside to inside. I attached a picture on how it is measured.
Yes, the Blue Ox Apollo Non-Binding Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 12,500 lbs # BLU22CR will fit into a 2" receiver. Great choice in tow bars too!
Are you new to the flat tow world? If you would like some recommendations on other flat towing components just comment below. Please make sure to include your year, make, and model of towed vehicle and what kind of brakes you have on the coach. That way I can get a nice package put together.

Thank you for the reply, been flat towing now for 6 years… this is replacing the original tow bar that is worn out. Upgrading a bit, to one that has a higher weight capacity. Thanks again for the verification
