Some Have Asked So Now I Have Pics
A few people on here wanted to know what was done on my motorhome chassis and hitch to tow well over 5000 lbs safe and with out harm to motorhome.
Two 6 x 3 tubes about 5 foot long welded with four 4 inch round tubes into one solid piece like a ladder and slide over hitch after some fiberglass was cut and slid all the way to factory frame, welded to Ford factory frame and Fleetwood extension frame and welded to hitch with extra supports on hitch welded for more strength.
The metal tubes are thick like 8 gauge metal and treated with under coat paint so not to rust, it can tow up to 7500 lbs with 750 lb tonged weight and no more wiggle in back of RV or frame bending from to much weight, also air bags in back to keep it all level.
Weight police please don't troll this thread..
Most gas motorhomes just have a light gauge frame extension from chassis frame to back of motorhome put there by the motorhome manufacture and that's usually why it has only 5000 lb towing and 500 lb tonged weight, but when you beef up the back of motorhome and beef up the hitch you can safely add to the towing weight as long as your gas motorhome is not so big like mine and has lots of extra carrying weight.
