Towing anything including a boat that weighs 3500 pounds should not be an issue with any DRW motor home including an E350 Ford and 3500 Chevy, as long as the tongue weight is under 500 pounds.

Launching rearward as is normal, the rear extended overhang of the RV could be a problem on certain boat ramps, causing the boat trailer hitch to go too high in the air before the RV starts down the ramp.
