GVWR & Towing

I am about to purchase a 37ft Class A RV, and I want to make sure it can tow my tow vehicle. The RV is a 2013 Thor Challenger 37DT. On all the brochures I have found online the GVWR is supposed to be 22,000 with a GCWR of 26,000. But on the Title from the dealership, when the vehicle was purchased new in 2013 it had a "Scale Weight" of 24,582 lbs. This Scale weight is listed on the Vehicle Title. Is this a problem since the Scale Weight is over the GVWR, and how much additional weight can I tow?

This was confusing because I do not understand how Thor would manufacture a new RV 2,500 lbs. over the GVWR.

Do Not Buy this Motorhome :


I just checked its specs and yes its a 37 foot motorhome with 3 slideouts on a 22,000 chassis, Thor went extra cheap on this motorhome, it should have been on a 26,000 lb chassis, my 33 foot motorhome with 2 slideouts sits on a 20,500 lb chassis and fully loaded I am 20,000 lbs..


I am sure that Thor is over weight before you load one item. :E


Here is a link to the Thor motorhome specs
