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 owned a 36 foot Beaver Monterey non slide motorhome as my 3rd RV.
It had the same drivetrain as the previous Monaco owner discussed .
Fairly slow but with the engine in the back it was quiet enough under load .
One major thing I had to do was have the rear radiator removed and cleaned .
The dirt that accumulates on the back of the bus going down the road also accumulates on the radiator .
No way to get it clean but remove it . Expensive operation .
That is why the premium diesel pushers have the radiator grill on the side of the bus .
I thought my 300 HP diesel pusher was only rated to tow 5000 # .
I do not know if the hitch , or the radiator was the limiting issue .
Condition will be more important than brand .
A Super C with the Chevy 5500 chassis and Duramax would be a very good place to look, also .
My last RV purchased new in 2002 is a duramax / allison supercab pickup , fierglass snugtop , towing a 7280 # GVW travel trailer .
I have never kept a rig this long by double .
