If the RV manufacturer did not de-rate the chassis, then your real limit is either receiver capacity, or rear axle capacity. Keep in mind that the actual load of bike carrier is 2-3x normal trailer tongue weight due the distance of the load center. You probably should have a Class-5 receiver for carrying a dirt bike.
Yeah, there is a separate sheet that lists the towing weight at 3500# and for an E450 with a V10 that has to be de-rated. Does this mean that de-rated takes into account the distance behind the axle, etc.?
Thanks,
