Another (maybe silly) question - Can you tow more with a Class A vs a Class C MH? I'm thinking of towing a Jeep Commander...
Maybe!! Some gas Class As have 5000# tow limits and some are less. That even applies to some DPs. The hitch, frame, and transmission are limiting factors most times. Class Cs have the same limitations but if you are looking at older models they are usually not going to be much over the 3500# (late 90s to 2003). Whatever you tow you will have to add a brake system for safety.
As you can see by my signature I have a 2003. The chassis is great and, except for a brake recall, has given me no problems. Mine still looks like new since I store it inside when not in use. When I was lookiing I wanted slides (wife did) and I checked out to find that Newmar was the first to have slides on production coaches in 1990. They have the most experience with slides and make a super coach. We live close to the factory (80 Miles) and have gone there one time to have an item checked out. They are great to work with.
