Is RV Trailer Hitch Available with 10,000 lb Weight Capacity

Question:

I have a 1999 Four Winds Ten-thousand motorhome with Chevy 454 engine. It is a class C with E3500. Looking for the highest rated trailer hitch that fits. Currently have a bolt on Reese 36041. What options are available?

If you are looking for a trailer hitch to mount on your RV then the highest rated capacity is the Curt Trailer Hitches parts # C13702 and # C13701 which are both rated for a max of 6,000 lbs towing when a weight distribution (WD) system is used. These are the same hitch with the only difference being the 13701 has a 2" drop for the receiver.

We do have the Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Cross Tube # 41991 which has a 16,000 lb towing rating but I'm not sure if it would fit your application. You can reference the bracket dimensions for parts # 4907 and # 4916 to help you verify this.

For a trailer hitch that fits a tow vehicle I would need to know the year/make/model of your vehicle before I can make a recommendation.

Thank you for the extra info. There are no custom trailer hitch options available so you need something that is modified to fit your application. The only trailer hitch that really matches your application is the Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Cross Tube # 41991 and the brackets # 4907 and # 4916 that I mentioned above so you'll need to verify that there is enough room to properly install this option. If you aren't sure, it would be worth taking your motorhome to a shop and have them give you some input on possibilities.
