Coachmen 24FS towing a travel trailer?
Hi, looking to (occasionally) tow a travel trailer (5K UVW, 27 feet long) with a 2018 E450 gas Coachmen 24FS... anyone have experience towing a travel trailer with a Class C? Will have WDH and sway...

A weight distributing hitch is not going to be anywhere near as effective as on a pickup or normal van because of the long rear overhang of a class C motorhome. You would have to put a lot of torque on the hitch to get much weight redistribution, and along with it a lot of extra weight on the trailer tires/axle. Not all motorhome trailer hitches are designed or constructed to take the extra strains and torques of a weight distributing hitch, either.
Payload capacity of the motorhome, and particularly the rear axle, would be a concern; it may be adequate, but you would doubtless be cutting into your cargo carrying capacity by a good bit...probably between 600 to 1000 pounds in many cases.
