Tow limits
Ok, you guys and I assume girls have been great with your assistance. I know this topic has been done but I wanted to check on something. We have not used our rv to tow anything yet. We have a 2005 52...

The ratings on the motorhome and receiver are based on a TRAILER. It's rated for a tongue weight, AND a trailer weight.
In your case, it will be more of an OR. You will have very little tongue weight to stress the receiver and frame, so it stands to reason that the frame and receiver should be able to handle a much larger "straight pull" load.
This is only my opinion, but I would have no issues hitching up and hitting the road as-is. Toads are an easy rolling load, have almost no aerodynamic resistance, and have the best "trailer brakes" of anything you could hitch behind a tow vehicle.
I agree. Pulling a vehicle won't be putting vertical stress on the hitch and frame. The vehicle absorbs the bounce effect going down the road.
