I have a 2024 Gulf Stream class C motorhome on a Ford E450 cutaway chassis and I want to tow our Jeep with us on long trips. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find any help with determining which is the right/best receiver hitch to use or where to have it installed. Getting a tow bear for the Jeep itself isn't the issue - I need help with making the necessary modifications to my motorhome. Can anyone shed some light on this?
Doesn't this MH already have a hitch installed? I think it's a 7500 # hitch although that doesn't mean you can actually tow that. You'll have to do the math to determine the tow capacity of your motorhome. Installing another/aftermarket hitch won't do a thing if your chassis can't support the tow weight. Tow capacity is always the LESSER of your hitch rating and the weight of the motorhome loaded for travel (fuel, water, food, people) minus your GCWR. You may be surprised to find it can't tow as much as you think. Dealers always rave about hitch rating but they are only part of the calculation. I've seen gas MHs with a 7500# hitch that can't even tow a car.
