Towing a trailer

I would like advice on pulling a trailer with gross weight of 11,060 with a 2001 31 ft class C with a V10 engine?
Since writing this I realized the truck weight was included in this weight.. Trailer is only 7000 lbs.
Thank you all for your input. Made me look into this more!

Your way, way over the tow rating.
Strongly advise against it.

Check the specs on your unit, but most Class C's are only rated for somewhere between 5000lbs and 7500lbs for their towing capacity.

Sounds like a lot of wt to be pulling with a motor home.but you haven't said the tow rating of the motor home either.
