GCWR according to specs is 22,000 pounds, so if your 30FE isn't too heavy or loaded down, you may be able to tow on light trailer without exceeding GCWR. However, if you go the trailer route I think you'll probably run into tongue weight limitations. Your Durango on a trailer would likely be in the 7,500-pound range, if not heavier, which may result in too much tongue weight. Many of the 8,000-pound hitch receivers I've seen were limited to 500 pounds of tongue weight.

Just one more thing to check. In any case, using a trailer for such a heavy toad will be pushing limits.

First thing I'd do is weigh the motorhome as well as the Durango (separately).
