I see full size pickups behind prevosts, they don't seem to have a problem

OP... most vans are not capable of being towed 4 down. You would have to put it on a tow dolly, which would max out any Class A gas coach, since 99 percent of them have a 5k hitch. It’s not about power, it’s what amount the hitch can tow, and if it puts you over your max capacity.
If you don’t know what the CCC, GCVW, and other weights mean, see the RVing FAQ above. You will find most of the info needed there.
Thanks. I feel like I have a fairly good understanding of things like GCVW but sometimes with the used MHs it's difficult to find all of the numbers or know how accurate they are. Of course if we find a MH that seems like it is even close to what we are looking for we will contact the seller and get all of the details. After several days of looking up (what feels like a million) used MH listings and tracking down numbers I was just looking for a different way to get perspectives/info on the topic.
Can you switch out a 5k hitch for a 10k if the MH has the power?
