Hi All.
As said, it all depends on how long the "Over-Hands" are on each Motorhome. And as said, for sure check out the Welding very carfefully.
Some welding jobs are good ones and some are not very good at all.
Also which is very importantely is what which "Hitch" did they put on that Motorhome. More than not, is the #3500 LB Hitch, then the reset have the #5000 LB Hitch, which is what we have.
Hooking up a 4200 LB Toad to a #3500 LB Hitch isn't a very good idea, safety wise. You even for sure will feel a #4900 LB Toad to a #5000 LB Hitch.
One more thing for you to think about is the amount of the "Over-Hang" on the Motorhome that you do want. The longer the Over-Hang" the more stress there can be on tight turns and your Toads Hitch, and Tires too.
Just make sure you get a Motorhome with a Rated #5000 LB Hitch on it. I even went so far to Beef-Up my #5000 LB Hitch as a have a very long Over-Hang.
Good Luck to you. Happy Travels. Dan & Jill & our 2 Little "Yorkie Kids, who love to Travel as much as we do.
