In order to determine which is the correct front mounted trailer hitch for your motorhome (if available), I would need to know either the year, make, model, and floor plan of your motorhome or the year, make, and model of the chassis your motorhome is on.

The Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 65022 is for a motorhome on a 1999 - 2007 Ford F-350, 450, and 550 cab and chassis which is not very common. If you instead have a Ford E-450 chassis from 2003-2007 then you will want to use the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 65001.

I have attached a sample install video for you as well.

This is correct. If you have the Blocker Beam on your 2006 Ford F-350 you will need to use the Draw Tite hitch #65022 or if not you'd need the #31114. The blocker beam is a small sub-bumper behind air dam.

Yes the install of the Curt front hitch part #C31014 on your 2003 Ford F-250 does use the front leaf spring bracket like you mentioned. I attached a picture I took from the install instructions (also linked) that shows how it all goes together.
