Thanks to everyone that has already replied! And thank you Linda! In quotations above is exactly what I'm looking for as far as pictures go. I would prefer to bolt the hitch onto the frame or a fabricated frame/mount/brackets welded onto the frame rails. Hopefully I can find the best way or room to make that happen without dropping the grey and black water tanks!

I have read a number of discussion threads on towing and frame reinforcement (along with pictures of towing cars with toyhomes!) but have seen very few pictures of what work was actually done to make that happen. Does anyone have any pictures to share? Just to say, I have no interest in towing at all, I only want to safely attach a hitch so that I can put a cargo carrier on the back for some wood, bikes and maybe a cooler (as we all know there isn't a lot of storage in these RV's), about 200lbs tops including the hitch, cargo tray and everything on it. I would love to see pictures of how hitches were mounted as well as how frames were reinforced for towing to get some good ideas on how I can attach this without droping the grey and black water tanks (I'm afraid of welding too close and melting holes in them) but there isn't much room along the extended frame rails back there. I'm including photos of the frame rails back there to illustrate exactly what I'm talking about.

I seem to have the same problem as OP in a 1993 Dolphin. Mystery puddle right in front of the toilet mostly by flush pedal (rear bathroom) after the water has been run in the kitchen sink (driver's side just past the couch). Any ideas? I also seem to have a fritzing out coach battery. Could this affect the Atwood water heater? Anyone have a suggestion on a good new deep cycle battery? I have already discovered that I need a new deep cycle charger as my standard charger doesn't have the proper settings. Thanks in advance! Casey
