I have heard of it. Now .. SOME Rigs.. notibally a Diesel Pusher. may be able to pick up the front end of a car or pick up truck.. MINE (A Gasser) can not. I can only put around 500 pounds TOPS on the hitch and with torque like that sucker would apply.. Make it closer to 50 pounds on the lift.
I would say most manufactured DP's aren't rated for that either. Anyone know what the tongue weight on a Foretravel or Prevost hitch is?
I found this - says standard is 1000# tongue, can be upgraded to 2000#. might be fine for static, but real world bouncing, turning etc I think would impose much greater than 2000. Again I am no engineer. But Even a Prevost seems like it's still too close with an upgraded hitch.
