towing with a class c

Towing is no problem at all with a class C. Do some research and get the right equipment. I put together this site "How to Tow a Car With Your RV" that may be a helpful starting point.

We tow a Honda CRV with our 32ft class C.

I tow a 2600 pound Honda Fit with my 2004 (Itasca Spirit) 29B, don't even have the off-the-line advantage of lower first to gears in the later E-450 chassis. Before that I towed a 3600 pound regular-cab Ford Ranger.

The RV had no problem towing either. My hitch, Winnebago factory install, is rated 5000 pounds for a flat tow, 350 max tongue weight. Quite likely Winnebago is still using that model hitch. They put it there OEM so delivery drivers can tow their come back home cars.

I had a Holiday Rambler Atlantis 29 footer with Ford's V10. It had a 5000# hitch and I towed a 2006 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. The Jeep weight around 5000# given all the aftermarket upgrades. The motorhome struggled on any uphill grade.

You will also want to take a close look at the motorhome's cargo carrying capacity. Mine was well under 1000# and it is very easy to put more than that in a 29 footer.

Our 2007 Honda Civic Manual Transmission weighs in at 3100 pounds and we tow it 4 down CONTRARY to the Owners Manual.

We did the same with a 1990 Accord and a 2001 Civic, all manual transmissions and the same warning in the Owners Manual.

Yes you can. Just make sure the car you want to tow is capable of being towed and its weight is less than the max weight your Class C is rated to tow.

Many 4wd cars, such as the Subaru, can only be towed if they are manual transmission.

I tow this with my 07 Winnebago Outlook 31C on a Ford V-10:

Be aware that a fair percentage of cars _cannot_ be towed four-wheels-down. You'll need to check in the car owner's manual, or with the brand dealers' service department.

We have an 06 Outlook 29B, and tow a 3500lb CRV, no problems. Our hitch is rated for 5000lbs and Winnebago derated the tongue weight to 350lbs (frame extensions). Only about 20lbs tongue weight with the tow bar.
The V-10 does not even know the Honda is back there, same gas mileage towing or not, 7.5 to 9 mpg, totally dependent on the weight of my right foot.

I have a 31K chateau and I pull a JEEP wrangler..no problem. Just have the correct tow bar and auxillary brake system-should be no problem.

depends on if it is rated for a 5,000 lb. hitch or 3,500 lb.
