Expert Reply:
If you are looking for a front mount hitch for your 1998 Starflyte RV on the Ford E-350 van chassis we have 2 options. You can use Curt hitch # 33055 or Draw-Tite hitch # 65001. Both hitches are rated for 500 pounds vertical pull (tongue weight) and 9,000 pounds straight line pull if using a winch.
If you are looking for a rear mount hitch then the options for the regular vans may not work because the RV body is so much longer than the van body it would make the hitch recessed far under the vehicle. So for a rear hitch I recommend a frame mount RV hitch, # 13703.
