I know you can put heavier hitch setups on but with my smaller MH you get too heavy of a hitch weight on the back end you get the tail wagging the dog. I could not imagine with the these super heavy trailers what would would transpire. That's why I posted the Trailer Toad It makes more sense to me to take the tongue weight off of the MH instead of putting it on.I know the larger MH's with the axles towards the very rear have less of a problem with this but I think it would also help with wear/blowouts on the rear tires.

Hi Brian, like I posted over on IRV2 , the use of the trailer toad is basically for the reason that the tow vehicle is grossly overloaded and the trailer toad relieves this condition, but it still remains overloaded on the GCWR of the tow vehicle. GVRW minus the GCWR is all something can structurally handle by design, frame, engine, transmission, everything involved. When driving over the road truck, when loaded to a GCWR of 80,000# the truck and trailer was maxed out, power, ride, handling, etc. Now , when I only loaded 25,000# on the trailer for a GCWR of 55,000# , WOW, super truck, all kinds of power, rode great, handled like a Cadillac! I would rather be under my GCWR of my Coach than to be way over for the reasons posted above.
