I've been trailering my Jeep behind our class C for many years without a problem. I used to flat tow, but trailering suits my needs better.
I chose our 26'C because it had the E450 chassis on the smallest MH available. Same chassis as the longer 29-31' C class, but with less overhang and more unused capacity. The next smaller size is on an E350.
I also added some welds along where the hitch meets the frame to make me feel better. The factory hitch mounts with large bolts only.
It was a compromise because I would rather not have the rear corner bed that comes on the 26'. When I upgrade, I will be looking at Super C motorhomes, but my set up has been working for me. At least 7 other friends in my club are also trailering Jeeps with their class C.
TJDave,
Are you still running the above combination? I'm seriously looking at something similar and wanted to know your current thoughts?
(My "Jeep" is 4480 lbs (trail ready) and I have the lightest trailer I can find at 1300 lbs). I'd be overweight for the 5000 lb hitches and at capacity for the more rare units with a 6000 lb hitch.
