Watch the cargo carrying capacity. Easy to find MH with too little.
And mind the chassis GVWR, GCWR, and gear ratio for what you are considering. We were considering the Winnie 27N vs the Newmar. 27N was 18k gvw and 4.88. Newmar is 20.5k and 5.38.
Spot on. Even with a DP. They are not created equally. As an example a lower cost DP might have a Cummins ISB mated to an Allison 2500 transmission. The Allison is a bit of a weak link in the set up with a weight limit that may restrict your GCWR. Don't shop base on the hitch but do the math. The Thor Palazzo and Tiffin Red both fall into this category. Both are good rigs but they don't have the tow capacity you might need. The Palazzo literature as an example lists a 10K hitch but if you go by the listed GVWR and GCWR the chassis is limited to 5K Lbs.
