rk911 makes it simple. Unfortunately owners don't seem to have the where with all to find the necessary numbers. I explained the GCWR to them but they can't seem to find the listing for their coach or even understand what I am telling them. Some confusion comes from the hitch rating that may or may not be a match for the GCWR. For example, GCWR may permit 7000 lbs but mfg. just put on a 5000 lb hitch. It seems that the GCWR calculations is the only safe way to determine the towing capability. Then if the hitch needs to be changed, so be it.
All that said Monaco published the numbers in their manual on a single page. Is there any source for such information on the other motor homes I noted? How about you owners of such. Anyone got one, other than the Monaco Dynasty, that can legally tow 7000 lbs. How about the same years for the Monaco Windsor, was it also capable of 10,000lbs? I am considering one of those and the owner, elderly gentleman, can't seem to come up with the information. I'll be 80 this summer so I feel I can talk about elderly people, but in my case, I know what I am seeking and can understand the numbers if I can just get them. By the way, good job rk911. Best, clearest, explanation of the subject I have come across. Thankd
