How do I figure out my tow capacity?
I am buying a 2003 National Tropi-cal M-370. I am trying to figure out how much its capable of towing safely. I found a manual here http://www.mediafire.com/download/ymtoyfotij5/National+RV+20...

It says it has a 7,000lb hitch.
Most have a GVWR 27,910 and a GCWR.
But no listed GCWR for it. The difference between the GVWR & GCWR is what it can tow.
Sometimes you can find the GVWR & GCWR on a sticker on the drivers seat wall.
Or in a closet etc.
Whatever you tow make sure it has brakes on it. And doesn't weigh more then 7K
But It may be best to stay under 5K for any tow vehicle.
I was planning on towing a Chevy tracker (2400lbs) http://www.edmunds.com/chevrolet/tracker/2000/features-specs/
With a 2500lb uHaul trailer:

But this is just for a one time trip, I wanted to get the rating to see how big of a vehicle I could tow to see which of my vehicles I was going to make my toad and what kinda trailer to get
