Safe travels.
I am more concerned about "old farts" running around in 45,000 to 50,000 lb. motor homes than I am someone "engineering" strength to a hitch to increase load carrying capacity by 600 lbs..
Motor Home Accident
Frankly it appears that what he did keeps up to or even exceeds the standard motorhome framing he has .
And, just wondering how do you know is an old fart the cause this accident with the motorhome You quoted ??????
I didn't see anything listed by age there anywhere:h
This will give you another view of the accident.

It certainly wasn't a 45 to 50,000 lbs motorhome. At the same time he was an experienced and skilled driving instructor.
Condolences to the family.
