Hi Chad,

For your Forest River Georgetown on the Ford F53 chassis, the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13701 will work well with the frame width used on the Georgetown. We currently do not carry a Class V that will fit but it does have a 5,000 lb towing capacity, which works well for many towing applications behind a motorhome. Its adjustable design allows it to fit a wide range of motorhome frame widths, making it a great option for the F53 chassis.

For the brake controller, I really like the Redarc Tow Pro Liberty # RED96CR. It provides smooth, proportional braking and uses a small dash mounted control knob instead of a large traditional controller under the dash, which helps keep the driver's area clean and uncluttered. It's a great option for motorhomes because once it's set up, it delivers predictable braking without taking up valuable space.

I completely understand wanting a setup that inspires confidence when you're towing behind a motorhome. Having a properly matched hitch and brake controller can make a huge difference in how comfortable and controlled everything feels on the road, especially during stops and longer trips.

What do you plan to tow with your Georgetown, cargo trailer, or some toys?
