Hitch pictures

Some pictures of the underside of our hitch area for reference.

Picture taken from the curbside looking toward the hitch pin hole. Red Jeep is beyond the edge of the bus. The hitch receiver opening is not at all past the fiberglass bumper. From the center of the hitch pin hole to the opening of the receiver is 4 3/8". You can see the hook of the safety cable and the red coiled wire )that would activate the emergency brakes on the Jeep if it came totally loose) are attached into the eye loop which is welded in place.

A little longer view. The "box" on this side has a matching "box" on the other side which is fore-shortened by the angle of the camera.

From the driver's side view of the hitch pin hole and "eye" where the safety cable would hook onto.

A little wider view - again, you can see the end of the receiver is just beyond the "box" but not at all past the bumper.
This is looking "in" where the bumper was cut out for the motorcycle lift receiver. You can see that there is an aluminum frame that is behind the bumper - it was partially cut out for the receiver for the motorcycle lift. You can also see the top of the "box" that is underneath (the black part with mud on the bottom).

Another view of the bumper and the aluminum framing, and the "box" underneath. You can also see that the bumper has a raised part to make "room" for the stinger to go into the receiver.
