2005 holiday rambler towing capacity

thanks to all

Do you have a Admiral SE 30PDD? I can't find a 32DD. The 30PDD was a late add in the '05 model year as I recall. It shows up in the 2006 Admiral SE brochure (page 17). It was on a 20,500 GVWR chassis with a 26,000 GCWR (should be a sticker up front with that info), and a 5000 pound hitch. Sound like the unit in question?

towing capacity is not just about the hitch rating. it's about knowing just how much weight your MH can safely tow without exceeding the various weight ratings...gross combination weight rating (GCWR), gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) and each axle's gross axle weight rating (GAWR). you also need to know the curb weight of the vehicle you're planning to buy and whether that curb weight includes a full tank of gas (sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't).

the maximum amount of weight you can safely tow will be the lesser of the following:

- the GCWR minus the actual weight of the MH as it is loaded for travel (food, fuel, water, LP, clothing, supplies, pets, people and misc. stuff); OR

- the weight rating of the MH hitch (Class II 3500-lbs, Class III 5000-lbs, Class IV 10,000-lbs); OR

- the weight rating of your towbar

load up the MH as you would for travel and then get individual axle weights at a certified scale. compare those axle weights to the published gross axle weight rating (GAWR) for that motorhome. the actual axle weight must be less than/equal to the rating for that axle. add the two axle weights to arrive at the total rolling weight and then apply the three conditions above. assume nothing.

05 should be 5k but I'd call Monaco with your VIN for confirmation. You can also look at the receiver, many times it's stamped or listed on a decal. Monaco may still be able to email you a copy of the original build sheet for your coach....Dennis

IT'S A 32 DD

Take a look here

You don't give us the model. The brochures have that info listed as a rule.
