I've read of these types of chassis failures before, so it's not a one-of-a-kind problem.
I can't honestly tell what's going on from the picture, but know than on many larger motorhomes (many smaller ones too) there is a chassis extension welded onto the original vehicle chassis. On most motorhomes I've looked at the hitch receiver was bolted to an extension, not the original Ford frame.
The picture doesn't make it clear (to me at least) whether the failure is on added frame extension, or whether that's part of original frame "C" channel. I expect it's on the added extension because of the shape, and also the size of your rig.
