Thanks for the information Mike! To add a hitch to your 1988 Damon Escaper on a Chevy P30 chassis, I recommend the Curt item # C47CR. This is a universal hitch, because unfortunately there are no custom fit options available.
The Curt item # C47CR universal hitch includes brackets that weld directly to your Chevy's frame. The 2" receiver has a 16,000 lbs towing capacity and a maximum tongue weight of 1,600 lbs. It works with frames up to 44" wide so it'll be perfect for your P30 chassis. The brackets will give you a 9" drop from your motorhome's frame.
Besides replacing an old one, what do you plan on using the new hitch for? Feel free to answer this and throw in any other questions you have, where it says Add Comment.
