Towing a trailer

Most Class C motorhome frames don’t go to the rear of the rig. They have extensions that are lighter and not great for attaching a hitch with a trailer that heavy on it. You can tweak the rear of the motorhome.
The hitch will be a good ten feet behind the axle, maybe more. Bad for handling.

I’ve towed a 10,000 trailer behind two Class As, a 25’ and a 26’, and that’s why I now use a diesel dually pickup and camper. They handled way too poorly, even with all the add-ons, weight distributing hitches, sway bars, extra springs, air bags.... sometimes a bad combo is just a bad combo.

Friends have a Jayco Greyhawk V-10 that came factory with a 7,500 lb. hitch and pulls an enclosed trailer that I would guess is 7,000 - 9,000 lbs. depending on destination and it does well. Huge drop in MPG and not the first to the top of the hills but appears to handle it safely.

So the OP tow would be 90% beyond his tow rating.
This is n't even close.

Don't do it.

My advice is don’t.

Probably not lol. Somewhere, somebody is towing that much weight with a C. With some of the stuff I see asked on these RV boards nothing is a surprise lol.

Get a super C. You can get one with towing capacities of 10K, 20K, even 40K.

Probably close, if not over the max length allowed too.

Your liable to end up on youtube here, I doubt your hitch is rated that high, also the distance from rear axle to hitch is a bit long.
