Hello David,
Wow, that is a really cool bus! What are you plans with it?
We do have something that will work, but it will need to be welded. For a bolt on application the best we have to offer is something like the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs, 18" to 51" Wide # C13702 which is rated for 5K, when you use a weight distribution hitch like Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control - 10,000 lbs GTW, 1,000 lbs TW # EQ37100ET it would bump the towing capacity to 6K. If your trailer really weighs 7K your best bet is going with something like the Class V Universal Weld-on Receiver Hitch and Brackets with 3" Drop # 15901 and having a local fabricator weld it on.
We have dealers all over the US that do installs for a fee of course, you could reach out to one of them if you are not looking to weld it on yourself. I attached a link to find one in your area.
