I'm finishing up the installation of my tow setup and out of curiousity I looked at the factory tow bracket under my MH. It appears to be connected by 4 large bolts/nuts to the frame (2 per side). The build sheet says the MH has a 5,000 pound towing capacity. I just assumed the rear tow bar would have more bolts or be welded. Does that sound right? Thanks.
Sounds good to me and would rather have a bolt on over a weld, leaving more versatility for changing or reinforcing. Even when grossly overloaded, most rigs will have some sort of an overheating problem in the drive train and above everything else, if at all.
