When measuring the frame width of your motorhome to ensure fitment of the Draw-Tite Multi-Fit Trailer Hitch # 5350 that you referenced, you will want to measure from the outside of one frame rail to the outside of the other frame rail. If you find that the frame width on your chassis is 24 to 46 inches, then this trailer hitch will work well.

This multi-fit hitch features a 2 inch receiver opening, a 5,000 pound towing capacity, and a 500 pound tongue weight limit. Its black powder coated still will resist corrosion and all the hardware necessary for a bolt-on installation is included.

I have attached the written installation instructions that you can also check out.
