Wow, I can't be the only one still breathing! New for me is a toad - yea, I know, the rig can get us around just fine but there are some fishing holes I'll be hitting this summer that pass over narrow roads and hanging trees, not worth the risk. 2014 Jeep Patriot with the manual tranny - realistic weight: 3220.
First trip of the year on a cold and blustery day was Dry Falls, Washington.

Dkeppner,
The limitation is due to the "extension rails" that we're used lengthen the Sprinter. Those rails were of the thinnest gauge possible, and in my Winnie View they even had "lightening" holes about 2" in diameter cut in them to keep empty weight low.
Winnebago sells the rails used in 09 and later models which raise the tow rating to 500#/5k. Unfortunately, for my View both waste tanks have to be dropped to replace the rails - about a $2,500 fix. You can get rail braces from Upscale Auto in Portland, OR, which I recommend, but they don't increase the hitch capacity.
