Is your Reese hitch similar to what appears on picture? Can't tell for certain from picture because it's cut off. I'm curious if the longitudinal (front to back) hitch arms on each side where the 3 bolts are that attach to motorhome is relatively short.

From the way the lower flange is bent after it failed, it looks like receiver may be something like 8 inches long front-to-back along frame extension.
