This is a hand-drawn blueprint/sketch for a custom receiver hitch installation on an 'AmeriCamp' trailer, uploaded to the gallery of a 2005 Ford F-250 (likely as its tow vehicle). The drawing includes two views. The Top View shows the trailer frame rails with two horizontal cross members made of 2x3 x ¼" steel tubing, connected by diagonal tube braces, mounted ahead of the bumper. A receiver tube measuring 2½ x 2½ x ¼" is centered at the rear, extending through/below the bumper. The Side View shows the trailer frame profile with the bumper at the rear and a 4x4 member, with the receiver tube positioned beneath the frame. Handwritten notes at the bottom specify that all steel used is ¼" wall thickness, and list design ratings: Gross Trailer Weight of 10,000 lbs and Tongue Weight of 750 lbs. The document is undated and contains no part numbers; it serves as a fabrication reference for building a rear receiver hitch on the trailer frame rather than being a factory Ford document.
