diesel transit tows 5000# - winnie trend does 2000#
a lot going on in this ruv concept. fwiw, this C is one of the more B-like B+ motorhomes out there. from the video, it seems kinda' cramped. if you want any daylight from the 4 rear windows, you must extend bed slide. tthere seems to be a lot of interior 'finishing' material, which adds to a sense of plushness. didn't see if cab seats swivel.
coming from an A, the lack of a solid shower glass door may be an issue.
the long wheelbase and close-to-ground door entry may cause some scrapes in urban curbed entryways and/or uneven cg sites.
the unit looks fun, especially for a solo traveller.
The Fuse (Transit based) does not tow 5000 lbs however. GVW is 10,400 (which is where you will be when loaded to travel) and GCWR is 12,000. That leaves room to tow 1600 lbs. The same calculation needs to be made with the Trend to find actual towing capacity.
My Navion is rated to tow 5,000 lbs but I can't get there for the exact same reason. Fully laden, it is limited to about 4,000 lbs (assuming zero tongue weight). Tongue weight counts as vehicle cargo.
