Hey Andy, thanks for reaching out!
In order to know if the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13704 will fit, you'll need to measure the frame of your trailer. The measurement you need is the distance between the frame rails from the inside of one rail to the inside of the other. So long as the distance is between 22" - 66", this hitch will fit!
If you have a wider frame than that, then have a look at Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13703. This one will fit frames up to 72", but you will lose some tongue weight with a max of 350 lbs while # C13704 has a tongue weight of 500 lbs.
What are you looking to use the hitch for?

It going to be a little more than checking the width between the frame rails, but nothing crazy. When I mounted mine, I was a little surprised by a spatial conflict from the existing(wimpy oem) reciever assembly. Additionally, the attachments to the frame that anchor the structure of the travel trailer may be an interference to the sweet spot of where you'd like to install it. Getting mine to work didn't take too much enginuity. I will tell you that this thing is a beast and this is what anyone should want on the back of their rig no matter how light the load.
