towing with a class c
Howdy I just bought a 1997 forest river sun seeker 2300 with 18,000 miles and the ford v10 on the e350 chassis The hitch is rated at 3500 and I'm having trouble finding any others rated for more...

Thanks fellas!
According to the book on the chassis it is 12000 lb gvw and a 18,500 gvcw. I just weighed the coach and its 10,020 with me and 1/2 tank of gas and no water or gear.
My trailer states its 2000lb but a buddy says that's before wood boards, fenders , spare tire, etc So I'm guessing its closer to 2400. My jeep is a 2006 wrangler unlimited which is the extended two door that jeep only made for 3 years. I'm guessing its close to 4500, which is where I'm getting the 7000 lb total trail er weight.
So how can I figure tongue weight? How would a welding shop build a hitch and tie in into the frame?
Anybody got any pics?
I can flat tow but would rather not as this jeep has a 6 inch lift and 35 inch tires and 488 gears, much less friction to put it on a flatbed and less wear on the jeeps drive train, plus the trailer has electric brakes.....
