Hi Bill,
My 2005 5211 Chevy came with a hitch installed, so if yours did not, then I would guess it is going to be a custom job. What are you planning on towing? Be aware that there are very limited capacities with this application. A sheet posted inside of my coach classifies the hitch as a Class II, with a 250lb. tongue weight limit and a 2,500lb. towing limit. This is likely because there is already a frame extension for the coach body. Having a hitch waaay back there past the rear axle acts like a lever and give upward lift to the front wheels with more and more weight back there. It can be done, just be aware of the limitations.
