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...

According to page 2 of the link you gave. You're CCWR 32,910. At this moment in time, you also have to ask yourself, what warranty do you have? if none, then the gcwr is useless figure to work with, as it is a non legal term. If you have enough HP, torque and the correct gearing. up to 7000 lbs behind your MH should not be an issue.
The real issue I see, is that the empty wt of your MH is 24K lbs, leaving you with all of 3000 lbs for water, black and gray tank fillings, food etc. Reality is, if you are at gvwr, then your tow capacity is squat, zero, nada, nothing. Unless you can tow a trailer, or your toad with little to no tongue/hitch wt.
