Default Rear Hitch mount on camper

Does anyone know the part number for the receiver that bolts to the bracket on the underside of the 259L rear bumper I would like to get one so I can fab up a gen mount
There's a block of steal under the bumber with four nuts welded inside it
Looks factory to me but I see nothing in my owners manual

I don't know of any Hi-Lo factory mounted hitch. The spare tire mount was the only option that was attached to the bumper. Adding a hitch to the trailer has been a point of great discussion here. Unless it is firmly mounted to the frame there is not enough strength in the bumper to manage anything heavy. The bumper material is not very thick.

I figure I'm only lookin at about 150-200lb on a propane generator so I'm thinking it should hold
It looks like good metal under there 4 inch square tubing welded to the end of the main frame rails

Just don't want to put the extra tongue weight or I'd mount it above the propane bottles

I think you should wait for the opinions to come rolling in. In the meantime do a search here on the forum for hitches on rear bumpers.

This is from one thread:
