Hull > Have you guys tried the Yellow Pages. A couple of years ago I took my '82 camper to Mann Trailer in Seattle. They do custom trailers and install all kinds of trailer hitches, including custom work. They indicated they could install a hitch, that would handle any load I wanted, up to, and beyond, the vehicle maximum load rating! The maximum BUMPER hitch capacity, was another thing however - only a few hundred pounds. The custom hitch would have been welded/bolted directly to the vehicle structure in some way. It was expensive, and it was only going to be for occasional use, so I never did get it done and can't vouch for how it would have handled.
