So 23,000 minus 4,550 = 18,450 lbs. The answer is you can safely tow the MKS using electric or surge brake equipped dolly. 15,000 miles on my Master Tow 80THD towing three different cars and trucks with no complaints. My Big Tex carries the Master Tow and has all parts in stock.

I don't questions the numbers, but just curious to understand the industry thought process with regard to safety.
How can Thor get away with saying it can pull 8,000 lbs, when known weight of RV is 18,000 lbs and the Max Weight is set at 23,000? Is Thor lying? Most other RV Mfgs say Max tow weight is 5,000 lbs. Their numbers add up. I was giving Thor an advantage until I read your explanation because I thought I could pull 3,000 lbs more?
What am I missing....
