If you expect to pull a vehicle with your motor home, please use these guidelines when choosing a hitch and trailer: Hitch classification: Class 11. Do not use a load equalizing hitch. It could cause structural damage to the frame members. Limit the tongue weight of trailer or towing device to a maximum of 250 pounds. Heavier tongue weights can damage your motor home rear frame and body, cause unstable driving and handling characteristics, and will restrict your rights under the Owner care warranty. Do not tow a vehicle weighing more than 3500 pounds, or which would result in exceeding the GCWR recommended by the chassis manufacturer. Heavier vehicles can cause braking problems, damage the hitch, the motor home structure or drive train, cause unstable driving or handling characteristics, and/or restrict your rights under warranty. Changing the trailer hitch will not increase the tow capacity of the motor home even if the chassis is rated at a higher level. The Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) is listed on the wardrobe door tag. The GCWR is the maximum allowable weight of both the loaded motor home and towed vehicle. Exceeding the GCWR will cause damage to your motor home drive train or chassis, unstable driving and handling characteristics, and will reduce your warranty protection.Please read our Towing a Car (Dinghy/Toad) page for more information. Attaching Accessories to your RV / Caravan Structural members are located specifically to mount and attach factory-installed components and accessories, and may not be located to support after-market accessories not specifically designed for use on or in your motor home. Please consult with your dealer before attempting to install or mount accessories on the sidewalls of your motor home. Holes drilled in the sidewall may cause damage, and may affect portions of your warranty coverage. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
