Towing 5K # with a gasser
Anyone towing a Jeep Grand Cherokee (Trailhawk) with a gasser? My Jeep weighs almost 5k and was wondering how a Gas Class A would tow. Would be towing to the Denver area from Florida and up to Breck...

I would say this is pretty good info except this;
(Be very careful they are not designed for 8 1/2 foot wide RV's
You are right, they are NOT designed for RVs. They are designed for trucks, and most semi-trailers are 53 ft long, and 8 1/2 foot wide. And most places the scale is designed so a driver can get off/on with a long and wide load. If you think you need to take extra care driving thru scale, how do you keep it between the curbs thru town?
The one thing you may need to watch is the divides between segments, to get steering, drive and toad each on it's own.
Well. the standard width for a "Lane" on a road is 12 feet (Some are a bit wider) Truck Scales (like the CAT) average 10-11 feet so you need to be more careful.. I'm not sure Cat Scales are that wide.
You are correct about the length however.. I was referring to "Side to side" you need to be careful about centering side to side.
