2000 Newmar Dutchstar Towing Capacity Question

Tow Capacity has to do with the HITCH that is installed, NOT the Chassis or Powertrain. Newmar installed 5000 lb hitches. The HITCH is rated at a MAX of 5000 lbs. Later, Newmar and Monaco and others installed 10k hitches. BUT, if you increase above 5000 lbs you will have to beef up the Hitch and its mounting to the chassis frame. LOTS of Diesel owners have done that to pull loads greater than 5000 lbs. Doug
