Heavy Duty Hitch for a Class C

Question is. Is the frame rated to handle a 7000# load?

That is a question that has no answer. My GCVWR is 22,000 lbs and the unit weighs about 11,000 dry. I have a lot of weight to play with there. I am considering flat towing my new RAM truck which tips the scales at 6800 with a tank of gas. I would imagine that flat towing puts far less strain on the frame than a conventional tow would. Putting 800 lbs cantilevered over the rear axles is a very different ball of wax than having zero vertical load from a flat tow. My thought is that the issue is more with the hitch itself than the frame.
