That said the MOST important thing is the hitch. I spent well over $1,000 to have the 'correct' hitch put on my MH for hauling my 2 and 4 place trailers.
I'm curious as to what kind of engineering it took for a special hitch design that does NOT make use of, or depend on, the frame extensions that Class C motorhome builders have to weld onto the OEM's chassis frame? I thought it's those welded-on frame extensions that are the main limitation to having some real heavy duty hitches come stock on, or installed by the owners on, Class C motorhomes.
A number of years ago I had a metal fabrication shop make a custom hitch for my 24' Coachmen. They built a heavy duty hitch which bolted into the E 350 frame rails ahead of the "relatively" short Coachmen frame extension.
Mine was less than $300.
