While we do not have a custom fit trailer hitch receiver that is confirmed to fit your 2008 Country Coach Allure Motorhome you may be able to install a universal Class V hitch like the Curt Class 5 Universal Weld-on Hitch w/ Brackets - 2-1/2" Receiver - 44" Wide # C87CR which works with vehicle frames between 18" - 44" wide.

The # C87CR has a 2-1/2" receiver, a 2000lb tongue weight rating, and 20000lb trailer weight rating, but will need to be welded to the frame of your vehicle by a qualified welder.

While the # C87CR is rated for up to 2000lb tongue weight, your Motorhome may not be so I recommend checking your owner's manual and using the lower rating between the motorhome and hitch.

To retain your current 2" ball mount you can use the B&W Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeve - 2-1/2" to 2" # BWRHXA2182.

I included a video of the # BWRHXA2182 for you to take a look at.
