Class B towing

I am considering purchasing a Thor Gemini/Compass with Ford diesel. It is rated about same HP/Torq as Mercedes Diesel. I have seen a few Mersedes View's towing dingys that seem to do well. The Gemini/Compass list a 3500 Lb. Rating which may be close to the Winnabago's Mercedes View or Navion. Has anyone towed a vehicle with the Thor Gemini/Compass?

    Is your 6X10 box trailer dual axel? Any idea of weight of your bass boat or box trailer? I have a Jeep Liberty 2WD auto trans equipped with a Demco trans pump that is about 3600 lbs. That I tow with my class A RV. If I buy the Gemini/Compass class B my calculations for GVWR will be close pulling the Jeep. Hate to dump the Jeep as I have invested $$$ for towing prep.

    don,t no that rv but we tow a 18ft bass boat with a mB 5cyc diesel and it does just fine. even a 6x10 box trailer loaded not a problem.
