Hey Ryan, on the Buyers Products hitch part #3371801102 the distance from the frame mounting surface down to the top of the hitch opening is 7 inches. To the bottom of it measures 9-1/2 inches.
Your 2012 Express Shuttle Bus would be built on the cutaway chassis version of the 2012 Express Van so that means the correct hitch you'd need is the Buyers Products part #3371801102 which was made for this style of chassis. I attached a picture…
As far as the mounting bracket, you can absolutely screw it directly to the hitch if you want. We do this frequently in our own installs and it will not compromise the strength of the hitch in any way. Now putting a few holes in the hitch does open…
The Buyers Products 2" Hitch Receiver, #3371801102 is confirmed to fit the 2021 Chevrolet Express Van/GMC Savana Cutaway Chassis. This has a 2" receiver tube opening with class V rating. It has a maximum gross trailer weight of 12,000 lbs.…
Hello Paul, Definitely a good idea to keep your transmission cooled while pulling a 38' 5th wheel. I found another option that I thought would fit your needs a little better, I went ahead and reached out to my contact at Derale and he agreed. The…
Yes, the circuits you found for installing the P3 part #90195 that you referenced in your 2016 Chevy Express Van are correct. The CHMSL circuit stands for center high mount signal lamp and is a dedicated brake light circuit and runs to the red wire…
According to my contact at Timbren, there is a bolt that holds the bump stop in place from above. Once the bolt is removed, the bump stop you described can be slid out of its slot and removed. As long as the weight bearing capacity of the van is not…
On the 7-way wiring plug and lead part #H20046 there isn't a purple wire. Normally a purple wire for a 7-way is for a reverse light circuit. Which would correspond to the yellow wire of this adapter.
Thank you for all of the information and pictures! It looks like you should at least have some wiring already run on your 2019 Chevy Express Van 3500 so I'm just as confused as to why you don't have a round plug with a cap inside the…
From your photo it does not look like the 2018 GMC Savana Van has a 7-way factory tow package. There is not a 7-way pin available that plugs into the plug you have shown. First you would need T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer…
There might be a round connector at the rear of your 2018 GMC Savana Cutaway which you could plug a Hopkins 7-way part #30955 into but the cutaway models aren't all the same unfortunately. If you find the connector you can use the #30955 but if…
I was able to find you a video we have of a similar installation performed on a 2015 Chevrolet Express. I have included the link below. The wiring will be as follows for your 2017 GMC Savana Van with the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller…
