No two Newells are alike. Some come equipped with a 20k hitch, some with a 10K hitch, and some with a 5K hitch. The high capacity hitches can be retrofit, but it is not an off the shelf item or commercially available. I have seen Newell dabbing those hitches and retrofitting.
I have seen one coach pulling a stacker with a 5K hitch and the scary damage it caused. The owner was “told” it would be OK. By whom, I do not know.
You will know the big boy hitches when you see them. They will extend under the coach engine carriage rails. They will be constructed of large 2 1/2 inch or so square tubing. Many will have a 2.5 inch receiver. And they hang down, reducing the ground clearance at the rear.
