Class IV Hitch Recommended for 40 Foot Motorhome

Question:

I have a diesel pusher 40foot newmare with spartan chassis Model # MM2242. Your class 4 custom hitch has 3 models to choose from but not mine? Do you know what one would fit my 1997 40foot newmare mountain aire with Cummins diesel. I currently have a 4500 hundred pound limit hitch and want a class 4 . The pics show the hitch and the bracket is only using 2 of the 3 holes available on each side. They are 6inch ctrs.

The hitches you had looked at are fits for various pre-2001 domestic full sized pickups with a 31-1/4 inch center to center frame spread. If the frame on your Spartan chassis matches up, the Curt # C14082 and B&W # BWHDRH25124 would work for you, but you'd need to drill new holes as the holes on the hitch and your frame wouldn't match up.

If you have a different frame width, you'd be better served going with a weld on hitch like # 41990-07 which would work great as long as your outside to outside frame width isn't greater than 44 inches. The hitch is rated for up to 16000 lbs towing/1600 lbs tongue weight.
