Rear Hitch for 1996 Pleasureway Motorhome on Dodge Van 3500 Chassis
Question:
Which hitch for a 1996 pleasure way motor home on a 19 ft dodge ram van 3500.
asked by: Shane
Expert Reply:
We do offer hitches for the 1996 Dodge Van, but they are meant to be used with the van, not with a motorhome on a van chassis. When a motorhome is added to the chassis, the spatial relationship between the frame members and the rear bumper always changes, meaning that a hitch designed for the van won't work.
I'd recommend using a motorhome hitch, see the provided link. One of the adjustable width hitches would work best. In order to find the hitch that would work best, measure the outside to outside distance of your frame members. For example, if the width of the frame is between 18 inches - 51 inches wide, the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13701 may work best for you.
