I plan to tow my Dodge 1500 behind the class A. Again, I don't know what it weighs, and don't care. I will get a tow bar rated for 6 to 10K lbs. and hook it up. If it works, fine. If it struggles too much, I will think of something else.
I refuse to spend an inordinate amount of time stressing over numbers.
