Re: F53 trailer hitch

Yes they add extensions. But the dimensions are exactly the same as the Ford frame. In fact from the drivers seat back the chassis is an F550. The F53 comes in as an incomplete chassis. So an F550 hitch will bolt up. Although Etrailer does offer a MH specific hitch for the F53 chassis. So it will hand about 2.5” lower than the RV specific hitch. Exactly, the extensions and everything should be beefed up if you are looking to upgrade the hitch. That is why you should go custom.672Views0likes0CommentsRe: CARB smog testing motorhomes Every 4months by 2024

I agree to a point but CARB is its own entity and does not bend to the will of the people, they pretty much do what they want.867Views0likes0Comments
