8,000# hitch on new E-450 Chassis
It has recently come to my attention that all new Thor Motorhomes on the E-450 chassis built after 10/01/2014 come equipped standard with an 8,000 pound receiver hitch instead of the 5,000 pound hitch...

Thanks for the info guys .. I'll see if I can round up a good deal on an E-350 hitch @ 10,000#. The extension parts of the rails on my Fleetwood 25k are only 28 inches long from where the factory rails end to where the receiver hitch spans the frame. I'll go ahead and weld in some "V" bracing joining those short extensions back to the factory frame and call it good.
So I guess the E-350 and E-450 have the same frame width ? Mine is a E-450.
Also, it looks like on all the E-350 hitches, the front most bolt holes are canted downward slightly, I assume to fit an angle on the factory frames. My extensions are completely flat so it looks like that front hole won't lie flat on the frame extension.
