Indeed there is, and I already have all that, but that wasn't the question :)
The question was, "Why is there a sticker on the hitch itself that gives 5000/500 as the max trailer/tongue weight, but gives 0/0 as the max dinghy tow weight, because that doesn't appear to make sense?"
My intended dinghy weighs 4500 pounds, so it'll cut into my GVWR by 500, but I try to travel light so I don't expect that to be a problem. I'm just interested in whether or not there's something about that particular hitch that renders it unsuitable for tow bar use. Fleetwood (in my edit), more or less said there isn't, without directly answering the question, and that they think the hitch is a Drawtite.
So, as far as I can determine at this time, there should be no reason not to tow a dinghy on that hitch.
Thanks!
