OK, I had a 1997 31 Class C about 9 years ago. Had the V10 in it. The Hitch was rated to tow 5k pounds. I wanted to tow a trailer with a car on it. Took my RV to a welding shop here in town. They run 2 pieces of large L shaped metal (4" x 8" I think) along my frame rails, starting above the rear wheels and continuing all the way to the hitch. Welded them to the hitch and frame. Cost me about $300. Then I added a larger transmission cooler and deeper transmission pan. And a electric trailer brake set-up.
I towed a 20' car trailer (dual axles brakes) with a 1995 Jeep Wrangler and a electric EZ-GO Golf Cart both on it. Around 6500lbs.
You will definitely know it's back there. But It can be done.
