The Curt multifit trailer hitch part # 13703 is a very popular option for RVs like yours as it has a wide range of frame widths and frame styles it is designed to fit.

As long as your frame width is between 22 and 72 inches in width and is a box, c-channel or I-beam this hitch should work well for you.

Based on what you listed in your question it sounds like your trailer frame is recessed 6 inches behind the rear bumper of your trailer. That shouldn't be a problem for installation of this hitch.

Check out the install instructions and install video I attached for more info.
