The problem I had when looking is the Thor Palazzo, Winnebago Forza, the Forest River Legacy and a couple others have no towing capacity to speak of for a diesel pusher. The issue is the chassis and power train using an Allison 2500 trans which also limits the coach to the 340HP cummins engine.
I had posted a question about this on the forum earlier this year because I couldn't believe what I was seeing for towing capacity. With a Pallazzo I wouldn't be able to tow the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk with V8 engine.
Don't automatically assume a Diesel Pusher can tow most anything because a bunch of them can't due to the chassis, engine and trans combination.
