    An automatic transmission Trail Blazer needs a lube pump installed to be towed on all four wheels. A 4WD Trail Blazer is capable of being towed on all four.
    If it's on a 3500 Chevrolet, you'll be exceeding what the motor home is rated for.

    I have a 32ft Four Winds and tow a CRV. My hitch is rated at 5000 lbs.

    Many Class Cs are only rated to tow 3500 lbs. Check with Four Winds to find out what yours is rated for.

    I tow a Subaru that weighs about 3200 lbs and I don't think I would want to tow a heavier toad.

    I use a Blue Ox towbar and a Blue Ox Patriot brake box.

    I don't know your towing capacity. I believe most new motorhomes have a capacity of 5000 lbs., but I'm not sure.

    Have you considered a Readybrake for a braking system?
