Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2012 Pleasure Way Excel TS
Question:
I am looking for a trailer hitch for my 2012 Pleasureway Excel TS. It is on a modified 2011 Ford E-350 frame. The frame has been extended by Pleasureway for the RV conversion. There are tanks on both sides at the rear and the exhaust pipe extends along the frame out the rear, versus the side. Most pictures I see have installed a DrawTite Ultra Frame. 1. The 2011 Ford E-350 frame has been widened and stretched by Pleasureway to fit the RV body and now the frame has 38 1/4” center to center holes. 2. There are many pictures on the internet showing a Drawtite Ultraframe hitch.

I do have some options for you but we don't have any custom or confirmed options for a 2012 Pleasure Way Excel TS. The reason for this has to do with the modifications made at the dealer which alters the frame from factory. Therefore, it would really be up to you to find the correct hitch for this application. That said, two likely options you have are the Multi-Fit Motorhome Trailer Hitch part # 5350 which mounts to the bottom of the frame or the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 41990-16 which mounts to the side of the frame.
