dandybanana...your hitch is but ONE factor in safe towing.
In general, the maximum amount of weight you can safely tow will be the LESSER of the following:
• the GCWR (gross combination weight rating) of the MH/TV minus the actual weight of the MH/Trailer as it is loaded for travel (includes fuel, fresh water, food, clothing, people, pets, supplies, etc.)
• the weight rating of your tow bar
• the weight rating of your HITCH
Notice there are three factors and the hitch is but one of them. Also, note to safely tow, use the LESSER of the three.....Dennis
