How much should my tow vehicle weigh?

Home > FAQs > RV Tow Vehicles

Post New Message add a FAQ

Do not tow a vehicle weighing more than 3500 pounds, or which would result in exceeding the GCWR recommended by the chassis manufacturer. Heavier vehicles can cause braking problems, damage the hitch, the motor home structure or drive train, cause unstable driving or handling characteristics, and/or restrict your rights under warranty.

Changing the trailer hitch will not increase the tow capacity of the motor home even if the chassis is rated at a higher level.
