Something's fishy here. Check with the Class A guys about trailer capacity, given a specific Class A chassis you are considering. I say that, because the Ford E450 Class C chassis is rated 22000 GCWR (combined weight of Coach and Trailer). Since GVWR (loaded Coach only) is 14500, that leaves 7500 for the trailer. And that's with an aftermarket chassis stretch by a third party operation. Our E450 has Five Feet of Wheelbase Ford didn't build it with, plus the rear overhang (behind the axle) is also extended. MoHo builder could down-rate that 7500 and they often do. Then it comes down to the hitch itself. If they put a 3500 or a 5000 rated hitch on a chassis rated 7500, then they have to say max towing is 3500 or 5000 (per my example).
Get the exact chassis model and specs. Picture of the builder's label.
