Hello Jean,

Thanks for writing in.

I really wish Lippert had provided a list of chassis that the Lippert RV Trailer Hitch - 8,000 lb - 31.69" - Motorhome Frame Mount # LC28FC will fit, but they didn't. So, you will want to take a few measurements of your motorhome's frame to see if it will be a good fit.

I've attached an image showing the mounting dimensions. The width is 31.69" center to center, and the mounting brackets have 2" and 4" hole spacing, as shown in the picture.

Are you replacing an existing hitch on your Forester, or are you adding one for the first time?

@JeanM That is quite a bit wider than the Lippert hitch hole measurements. Have you checked with Forest River to see if it would be covered under your warranty? There should be a sticker on the hitch with part and weight information, can I please get that information? If that is not available, may I please have your VIN number so I can reach out to them to see what the part number was to the original hitch? We don't have one listed for the 2026 E350 at this time.
