You probably CAN do that but I would advise against it. Your hitch probably has at the most a 500 lb tongue weight and 560 lbs would be overload. You also have to look at the distance from the rear wheels to the hitch and think of it as a lever with 600 lbs on the end of it, you'll be putting a lot of stress on the rear of your coach. Best bet would be to get a small motorcycle trailer or a small flatbed trailer.
