Expert Reply:
We may have a trailer hitch that will work with your 2003 Coachmen Mirada, however the Curt Custom Fit Class V Trailer Hitch, # C14048, that you referenced will not fit Class A motor homes. Before installing a Class V trailer hitch on your Mirada, I recommend checking your owners manual or with an RV dealer to determine the towing capacity of your motor home. Most motor homes do not have high towing capacities, so a Class V hitch may be overkill.
Our Class V trailer hitches are universal weld-on hitches. If you determine that you need and can use a Class V hitch, then you may want to take a look at the Curt Universal Class V Hitch, # 15901 with a 3 inch drop, or # 15902 with a 13 inch drop. These hitches must be welded to the trailer frame and will fit frames that are 18 inches to 43-7/8 inches wide. Because there are no custom fit trailer hitches manufactured for motor homes, you will want to measure the width of the frame on your Mirada to determine if these trailer hitches will fit.
If you are simply looking to install a trailer hitch to tow a small trailer or boat, or to carry a bike rack, then a good option is the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13701. This hitch has a towing capacity of 5,000 lbs, a tongue weight capacity of 500 lbs and was designed for RVs and trailers. This hitch will fit frames between 18 inches and 51 inches wide.
If your frame is wider than 46 inches, then you could use the Hidden Hitch Multi-Fit Hitch, # 82201, but this hitch does have lower weight capacities at 3,500 lbs towing and 350 lbs tongue weight.
