Default Swing hitch in CO SPGS

Or perhaps they could provide some detailed drawings that would enable an expert welder to duplicate it. I emphasize the word expert, because there have been failures, as you mentioned, largely caused by the use of two L-channels intead of a single shallow C-channel on the front. Mine failed that way, and a local welding shop chastened me, replaced the L-channels with C-channels, buttoned up the edges, and it has been fine since.

Yes, I believe the above is correct.
When the lift, rear bike receiver hitch (150# rating) and installation of our inverter are complete, we will pick up our '15 2720QB from the Car Show later this month. With the other mods, we thought we may need a swing hitch but actually have room to spare w/o one.

Their quoted customer 2015 price (effective 10/01/2014) is $728 (taxes, likely not included) and I'm fairly sure all of the work is performed on site @ the CO SPGS dealership.
Interested parties may want to contact Jeff Stewart, @ the Car Show.
