I have done a minor reinforcement where the hitch attaches to the frame.
I’m using a Curt weight distributing hitch/sway control system.
The rv drives well with this set-up, I can cruise at 95-100 KPH, one hand on the wheel, Fuel mileage is about 7+ mpg....
I have not seen anyone towing the maximum weight on this forum yet, I just thought I would post my experience with it.

Which Axis? I've got a 25.2 towing a 24 Intech all aluminum car trailer.7500 lbs total weight of trailer. I've done the track bar,front and rear sway bars and of course max amount of caster.Did the reinforcement of frame to tow and use a Curt weight distributing hitch too.My fuel mileage is 8.5 to 9mpg towing at 60 to 65 mph.Only have a slight push when tractor trailer that I can't correct yet.
