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 ...

Good too see other drag racers on here, thought I would chime in with our set up. We have a 28' Coachman Santara that we bought almost 2 years ago solely to tow our 24' pace to the track, loaded it is around 8k and our Santara with no slides weighs in at 13k with a GVCW of 25k so my best guess is we are at about 15,500# full of fuel, water, etc.
So around 1k less than the GCWR, we recently traded the scooter in the trailer for a golf cart so I am looking into getting a trailer toad to make sure the tongue weight is not too great that and I am in hopes of a few 12 hour tows to vegas this year rather than the 1- 5 hour tows thus far prior to the golf cart. I have too say at 1st I didn't think the stock 460 would do very well towing but thus far I am quite happy with it's power and can still make most grades at 55. We originally wanted to spend a bit more but this one owner coach with 33k on it was well maintained including new tires at the time and it's $9k price was too good too pass up. Hope the OP's search goes well and just remember to use common sense.
