The available trailer hitches designed for use on RVs are not rated high enough to be considered Class IV or V hitches. So what you will need is to install a heavy duty truck hitch. We have several options, see link, depending on the frame width on your RV. For example hitch # 41991-07 is a Class V weld-on hitch that fits a frame width up to 62 inches wide.

Frame width is measured from the outside of one frame rail to the outside of the other. Any weld-on options should be installed by a professional welder.
