Besides the frame extension weight limit is the class of hitch used. Just guessing here, but I suspect that the RV mfgr used a class 3 hitch (6000 pounds towing and 600 tongue weight). If the frame extension will handle it you could upgrade to a class 4 hitch which has a towing capacity of 12,000 pounds & a tongue weight of 1000 pounds. I have gotten all my receiver hitches from U-Haul so if I were you I would take the MH to them and see what they say about putting a class 4 hitch on it. They have the resources and knowledge to know what can be done with all vehicles. Now I am talking about a regular U-Haul dealer, not just someone who rents out U-Haul trucks and trailers. If you don't have one close, you could call them and get some answers.
