trying to decide Class A or Class C (super?)

The tow ratings of DP motorhomes rival that of most Super C motorhomes. For example a Thor Palazzo 33.x motorhome has a GVWR of 26,000# and a GCWR of 30,000# with a tow rating of 10,000# the 35.x / 36.x versions have 28,000# GVWR 33,000# GCWR. Interestingly enough that is identical to the Seneca which is 28,000# GVWR 33,000# GCWR. However, with the Palazzo the base unloaded weight is around 21,000# or in some cases less. This means you have much more actual payload and tow capacity left over. The Seneca is much heaver due to it being a truck front. The other consideration is you get about as much actual living space in a 33.x (actual length 34.5') than a Seneca with an actual length of about 40'. The Seneca is based on the Freightliner M2 106 truck chassis. The reason for this is the entire front portion is not usable space. Now like all things there are exceptions in this. On the commercial Super C motorhomes they build their rigs on a Class 8 Volvo or Freightliner. They have 15L ISX engines, 18 speed Eaton manual or true truck automated manual transmissions some have the Allison 4,000 series truck transmission. They have live (powered) dual rear axles each rated at 20,000# with a split rear end (dual gear ratios). They have air brakes for the coach portion and air brakes for any trailer. The GCWR on these rigs is 80,000# just like an OTR truck. Typically, you can run 55,000# in the truck and 25,000# for the trailer. Those are "true" Super C motorhomes. They are designed for the racing circuit and shows etc. A factory built normal Class A or Super C with an Allison MH2500 and an Cummins ISB cannot ever match the power of a real Super C built on a Class 8 chassis.
