Hi Guys,
I have been looking for a motor home and 24 foot enclosed trailer to carry a FF. most of the motor homes have a 3500 pound towing limit. I picked 24 feet because I think that is the shortest possible to carry a FF and a pit car. If you look at the attached post this MH is capable of pulling a 28 foot trailer with a full load which I am sure far exceeds 3500 pounds. Is the 3500 pound limit set by the manufacturer a very conservative figure? Or is the class C capable of a heavier load because it is a Ford truck chassis? Obviously trailer brakes are going to help but the long overhang on the MH cannot be good for the frame with the trailer pin load so far back. I have read most of the old trailer towing posts and while there are a lot of opinions I did not get a definitive answer. I guess I could buy the Ford Tioga MH like the one in the post and beef up the trailer hitch as he did.
Any thoughts?
Regards,
Hartley
