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 ...

Son if you don't think it can be done you have never been to a drag strip-----My trailer is 32ft long and my DP is 38 ft long. Trailer loaded is around 16,000lbs I imagine. I have an 8.3 325 HP Cummins with a 6spd Allison trans. It will top the longest, highest hill around here at 55mph in the hot sun and never get hot. Ran to Fl at 70mph on the cruise. There are a ton of DPs for sale in the East that will get it done for you at that price.....Come buy mine, I'll get another one.
WOW!!! I wish I had that kind of power out of my coach. Even flat-towing our 5500 pound Jeep I get slowed to around 50 MPH pulling Soldier's Summit on highway 6 in Utah or Malad Pass (Southbound) just over the Utah/Idaho border on I-15. Pulling the trailer with Jeep and Harley weighing around 12k pounds I slow to around 45-47 MPH on the same grades, 6-7% grades and quite long pulls. I would love to pull them @ 55 MPH.
Mike.
