Will Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch fit Jayco Motorhome on 2011 Ford E450 Chassis

Question

Question:

I am looking to add a front spare tire mount to my 2011 Jayco Greyhawk 31DS motor home based on a Ford E-450 chassis. Will the receiver for the F-450 work, and if not do you sell one that will?

Sounds like you you have a Class C motorhome on a 2011 Ford E450 cutaway chassis. If this is the case there is a front hitch available. You'll need the Draw-Tite Front Mount Receiver, part # 65053.

The front mount trailer hitch # 65049 you referred to is a fit for Ford F Series Pickups, so it wouldn't fit your vehicle.
