I have a 2005 alpenlite and would like to add a receiver hitch to the rear. Any suggestions, I dont have the 5er at home to measure the frame width.

The most versatile frame-mount RV hitch that we have is # 13703. It fits frame widths of 22 to 72 inches, box, C-channel, and I-Beam frames, and it can be bolted or welded on. Welding should be done by a qualified professional. I have linked the instructions and a video showing an example installation for you.
