4300 pounds of Mercedes RWD.. If your motor home is a gasser that may be more than you can tow.. Just so you know.. If you have a Diesel you should be good.
WHY: most Gassers have a very low max Combined Gross Vehicle Weight rating, like 2600 pounds,, In my case the coach, loaded, is a touch over 2200 pounds. I have do not have 4,000 pounds left (So i tow 2500 pounds).
The hitch is rated at 5,000 pounds max (your other tow limit) unless you use a drop/rise hitch adapter or extension, then it goes down, big time.
However to find out if the car can be towed (Very good chance it can) 4 down go google REMCO TOWING, on the "STORE" link the left frame is a question sheet, Year, Make, Model, Engine, Transmission, Front/Rear/4 wheel drive,, and once you answer the last question the right frame (The main frame) is your answer.
It really is simple.
