I do want a used vehicle, but not one that is too old since I'm not handy. Can anyone offer suggestions? I don't want the 3rd row to be too small for adults. This is my very first post but my RV is a 10 cylinder Ford gas motor in a Winnebago Vista (30')
many vehicles can be adapted to flat towing. suggest you look here. but before buying anything you should know and understand the various weights and weight ratings of your RV.
in general, the maximum amount of weight you can safely tow will be the lesser of the following:
- the GCWR (gross combination weight rating) of the MH minus the actual weight of the MH (defined as the sum of the actual weight on each axle) as it is loaded for travel (includes fuel, fresh water, food, clothing, people, pets, supplies, etc.)
- the weight rating of your tow bar
- the weight rating of your hitch
this is why it's vital to know what your MH weighs as it is loaded and configure for travel before choosing a toad. Your MH will not collapse if it is overloaded but you will experience handling issues as well as longer braking distances and accelerated wear on suspension, brakes, steering, etc.
