Hi all, new here! Looking for information from those experienced Thor owners. We are looking at a new 2016 Thor 22E Chateau Model on a Ford E450 chassis. We need to be able to tow our Jeep on a trailer behind the coach. According to our local dealer and to corporate the new Ford chassis have 8000lb hitches and can handle the weight.

Figure curb weight on the Jeep is 4500 lbs, another 2000 for the trailer. So we are less than 7000 lbs.

We don't have the need or budget for a larger coach, I looked at some used Super C's with 10K towing abilities, and they were too large for our needs and driving comfort. I drove the 22 E today, I liked it, and it's layout and all it's options, I just want to make sure it can comfortably tow my Jeep before spending 60K! I've read some stories on sway and uncomfortable towing experiences, I don't want to regret my purchase.

Thanks.
