How to attach receiver to RV

This is our first camper, so be gentle! We purchased a used 2012 Open Range Roamer 266RLS. I'd like to attach a trailer hitch receiver for a hitch cargo carrier, primarily for our waste tank and a couple other odds and ends.

I did my homework, read up on them, and checked out the options on etrailer. Hooking up a bolt-on seemed to make the most sense, so that we could easily get to the underside of the trailer if necessary later. It made sense, at least, until I looked under the trailer. What I'm seeing looks nothing like the beams described in various forums, and in the installation guide.

Do I need to take the undercover shroud off in order for this to be clear? I see foam at the edges, so don't want to make more trouble than I have to. I don't mind diving in, just don't want to do anything stupid.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Yes, the panel covering the bottom will need removed and then modified to accommodate the receiver.

You are probably looking at the universal adjustable RV receivers. It should work well for you. Stay from the receivers that only attach to the bumper.
