We will be around 55' long with the trailer. I guess my question is "are we being too ambitious to haul this load". I realize performance will suffer, I lived in Denver and have many memories of overheated RV's pulled over and clouds of exhaust behind slowly moving RV's climbing the Hill. Appreciate any advise, comments, thanks, RetiredRowe
How did you determine your tow limit? Sales Reps love to tell folks that if it has an 8000 lb hitch, it can tow 8000 lbs. That's not the way it works. Hopefully you did the real math for CVTR number. Just want to be sure you have the correct info. Your coach does have a hefty tow capacity. I did a good bit of research on that same model a couple of years ago but I had my heart set on a Class A so compromised with a Vegas.
