F-53 chassis in 2010 has GCWR at least 26,000 pounds, probably close to 8000 is avail for towing. What you can tow will be determined by the quality of frame extensions and receiver supplied by Fleetwood. Winnebago builds all their "small" A gassers on F-53 with at least 5000 towing capacity, but Fleetwood is a different kind of RV company.
the maximum amount of weight you can safely tow and be within limitations will be the lesser of the following:
- the MH's GCWR minus the actual weight of the MH as it is loaded and configured for travel including fuel, food, water, pets, clothing, supplies and people
- the weight rating of the hitch
- the weight rating of the towbar
loaded weight of the MH should be determined by comparing individual axle weights against the GAWR for the specific axle.
good luck.
