Well, we looked at the rv. It was in really good condition. we put $300 down and agreed on a price. My one concern is the tow rating. It has the Ford V10 E450 chasis which I thought had the 5000 lb tow rating. The hitch listed a max tow rating of 3500 pounds not no exceed 10% above so 3800 max. My Ford Fusion hybrid is 3800 pounds. The rv also has air ride suspension.
With the Ford engine and chasis, any reason it can't tow my Fusion?
The rv is 30' long with two slides.
thx
Ours is an E450 and total length is just over 32' (31' model). Ours is rated at 5000 lbs. Weird...
What the Hitch rating is and what the chassis towing rating is are '2 different and completely separate things.
The first MH I bought had a Class 7 hitch on it. Rated for 25,000 lbs. That doesn't mean I would EVER tow 25,000 lbs. with that MH!! :B
