Please advise - determining max tow capacity
Hi,All, I have a 2017 Thor WindSport J34, The GVWR is 22,000 lbs, I could not find the GCWR for 2017, but for 2020, it is 26,000.00 (link as following) https://www.thormotorcoach.com/hurricane/sp...

Rich,
Thanks for the quick response, Yes, this is exactly what I am going to do, I will take the motorhome and weight it this week.
Great idea! I will call Thor first tomorrow morning to make sure the GCWR is 26,000.
Assuming my estimate is right and there are only 400 lbs difference between the Max Tow capacity & flat towed vehicle, did you see any major problems driving this around North America?
Thanks again.

john, 400-lbs is a bit close for my personal comfort but as long as you’re under the GVWR (actually the GAWR for each axle), your hitch and tow bar are rated for the load and you’re under the GCWR you should be good to go.
