1978 Chevy 30 motorhome

Hey everyone,

I'm looking at an 18 foot Chevy motorhome with a 350 big block, I can't find any specs on the motor or chassis but does anyone know if it would be possible to dinghy tow my Jeep Wrangler?
  • @milehigh- that's what I thought too so I'm assuming the owner, an 80 year man, must have poor information. @braindead well I was trying to find out as I am supposed to go see it tomorrow but it's two and a half hours away, does anyone know if something a little lager such as an older 24 foot, have a little more chance of the capability?
  • I spent a lot of time trying to find a smaller motorhome that'd tow my wrangler without any luck. Generally manufacturers seem to put in the lightest chassis/engine combination they can get away with. Not always of course, but I can't imagine that being capable. There should be a plate somewhere listing weight ratings I'd think?
  • I would say no. That 350 is doing what it can to move the motorhome without the Jeep. 350 is a small block, unless there is something unique about the MH engines. A big block might be a 454 or 400.
