uh oh! You've done it now! Here come the weight police!
I am not worried by the weight police, Also I think the towing limits set by the motorhome manufacture is up to debate, reason is some RV's weight more than others with same motor/trans and strength/length of overhang at end of RV and the hitch capacity plays a big part, Ford rates my chassis at 5300 towing but Fleetwood rated it at 5000 ?, but improvements to my hitch, tires, airbags and frame in back while keeping the RV lite I feel safe with a higher towing rate and performance improvements gave my RV the grunt to get the towing done easily.
