Thanks all,
Ill have to get out to the storage yard this weekend and have a look at the coaches caboose.
Not entirely sure what a good weld verses a bad weld will look like.
I assume a little common sense will go a long way,
The previous owner tow'd a wrangler with it supposedly with no issues, but I'm not about to put my families safety and others at risk over assumptions of a stranger .
Im not sure if this matters or not but the coach has been outfitted with front and rear supersteer trac bars. Along with a gibson power exhaust system and "tri-y headers" . Also a banks transcommand transmission commans module. Also a K+N cold air intake system.
Not sure if these things help or hurt my ability to tow.
When i get out there ill take some pictures to post up of the tow package and frame welds.
Thanks again all.

If only you had a chance to drive your coach before the exhaust and track bar additions. The exhaust system adds a bunch of HP & torque.
The front trac bar does wonders by keeping the front axle from moving side to side. The rear trac bar, not so much. The rear axle has a very stiff spring stack and doesn't have a tendency to move side to side much. The trans commander is also an excellent addition. Helps your E4OD tranny live a long useful life.
There has been a lot of discussion about the K&N oiled air filter. Some have run tests that prove the oiled air filter does pass more dirt than a paper filter. The oiled filter was designed for off road racing and does an excellent job for that application. BUT were not driving race engines. Just a little food for thought.
