Recommended Hitch for a Coachman CrossTrail Motorhome on a Ford E-350 Chassis
Question:
I am not sure if this is really what I am looking for. This appears to be for mounting on the back of a travel trailer. What I have is a Coachman CrossTrail 25’ motor home on a Ford E350 (4 WD) E Transit cab & chassis, frame. There is a lighter weight hitch, from factory (1.25” receiver) currently on our unit. I have been told by Coachman that our unit can tow 4000 pounds. I cannot find a hitch for our unit. Most every one states: (excluding cab & chassis) Ccan you help me with a recommendation. If you need I have dimensions, of the current on on the vehicle.

You are correct the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C13702 is for trailers and would not be what you want for your motorhome.
Since your Coachman CrossTrail 25’ motorhome is built on a Ford E-350 cab and chassis there aren't going to be any custom fit options. You are going to want the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Receiver item # 41990-07. This hitch fits frames that are up to 44" wide. The included brackets can be welded or bolted on.
I have linked a diagram below that will show you the dimensions of the mounting brackets.
