Towing horses behind your motorhome.
I have a 2012 Thor Freedom Elite 24' and planning on towing my horses for camping trips. I'm getting my tow bar upgraded to 6000 lbs. does anyone have advice or helpful hints? Calamity.

Well we plan on it, we just traded off a gooseneck trailer and switched to a motor home. It will only pull 2 horses and we need a WD hitch and brakes installed. It does have a 7500# tow rating and I should be well under with an aluminum trailer. I don't feel totally comfortable with the switch but we don't haul like we used to. I will say I know they are heavier now but in the 70's, 80's many people did it, if they had $$$. I'm not sure us horse show people weren't the first with fifth wheel LQ trailers out of necessity. I know we had a homemade one in the early 70's. They also used 4 horse steel trailers too, I showed for years and never heard of wrecks.
My vet tows with a 5000# Sunseeker, told me I should. I was afraid so we upgraded to one I think will work out fine. I also know someone who tows 4 with a Chevy 350 older short MH, I know it's not rated for that but he does.
