No need to build a hitch/receiver. Etrailer, hitchweb etc sell hitches to fit your chassis. No need for an adjustable width in most cases.
There are likely lots of pre-fabricated hitches available. Measure the outside dimension of your frame rails and buy one to fit. Measure carefully. Look for obstructions such as tabs on the frame, cross members and such like that might get in the way.
If you have a Ford Chassis then your frame width should be 34 inches. When searching for a hitch to fit a Ford Chassis select your year then select a F650 or F550 truck, stripped chassis. The selector tool should then show you hitches to fit a 34 inch frame.
When the selector tool shows the hitch options you can click the specification tab to see the dimensions of the hitch.
The previous posters are correct. Finding a hitch is no problem. The problem is that you can't exceed the towing capacity specified for your coach. No sense changing hitches unless the coach allows for a higher capacity.
