I have a 2020 Entegra Accolade, I am going stacker and think I better upgrade my hitch. I have a 12k hitch from the factory and 14K Curt 45900 dual ball set upI just want to be safe. Any ideas or where near glamis I can have them upgrade the hitch. I called Desert Rv but their tech didn't seem to know. We will see if he calls back.

 
Dwb has a place in ca. Get the number from him. In phx Cliffs welding. I have an appointment with them next week to upgrade my new motorhome to a 25,000 lb hitch

Not near Glamis, but riverside hitch in riverside did mine. Seems to be the go to place.

I thought you found a bolt-in much higher cap hitch?

Cliffs welding in Mesa AZ just put a 30k with 4,000lb tonge 3" receiver on my Moho.  Stout as heck and. 

 
How about some pics of these upgraded hitches and how they mounted to the Moho frame?

 
I did a bolt on 2.5" Curt hitch once. Once...
Hehe.  I think @URCLEVER found a 24k hitch.  I think it's much more common to find hitch options for things like the Freightliner, International etc Toter/Super Cs. vs. diesel pushers.  Sure, pushers are generally on the same set of Freightliner or Spartan chassis, but the interface between hitch and rear fascia seems like it'd be less standardized.  I could certainly be wrong.

That's a beauty! Just curious, on your side plates, why didn't you continue the top angle flange forward more vs. having it only where it bolts up? Probably would have been too overkill?
Honestly I didn't think about it. Its worked great for 2 years towing a stacker but after looking @Squatcher set up I might remake the side plates and incorporate some rectangle tube to bolt thru the plates and original hitch mount and run it the whole distance for more rigidity.

This is the hitch that I bought to make mine. https://www.etrailer.com/Heavy-Duty-Receiver-Hitch/Draw-Tite/38023.html

 
FWIW, I know you hear a lot of "but everyone does it" about towing stackers with DPs not rated for them.  But I have at least 1 buddy that had a DP burn down towing way too heavy (obviously can't be 100% sure the weight was the cause, but it was on a long grade) and at least 2 that have had hitches fail.
