RV purchase for towing
We've had both a class B van camper and a truck camper and are now looking to move into something slightly bigger and more comfortable for camping. The challenge is that we need a minimum of 7500 lbs...

I stand corrected. Apparently the new (2015-3016) Forrest River Class C's are rated to tow 7500 lbs. My 2012 Lexi was rated to tow 5000 lbs and hitch supplied with it, a class 3, was only rated for 5000 lbs.
Ford must have upped the gcvw rating, tho I don't see any changes between 2012 and 2016.
Still, the idea of towing something like a full size Suburban or Expidition that weighs more than half the weight of the rv would worry me.

Ford hasn't changed the GVWR and GCWR on the E450s since the 2008 model year I believe. It's just fairly recently that some MH manufacturers have rated them to tow up to the Ford specs.
