What RV to buy for my towing needs?
Hi everybody. I've been looking for a Motorhome capable of towing a two car trailer, but when I search RVs nobody mentions its towing capacity and most of the time the owners only know the motor's HP ...

I see that many are not answering your questions so I'll give it a try.
I think a diesel pusher is best for towing, quieter than a front engine, gas engine will be straining with the weight of the coach and your trailer. Look for a Monaco Dynasty mid 90's to 2000. They will have a 8.3L Cummins, my '98 has 325HP and 950lb/ft torque, you can call Cummins with the engine serial number and they can tell you the HP and torque. It will have an Allison 3060 transmission with 6 speeds. The coach will be rated to tow 10,000 lbs and it will have a 10,000 lb rated hitch already installed from the factory. Look for a 36' or 38', without slides are lighter and cheaper.
