Good too see other drag racers on here, thought I would chime in with our set up. We have a 28' Coachman Santara that we bought almost 2 years ago solely to tow our 24' pace to the track, loaded it is around 8k and our Santara with no slides weighs in at 13k with a GVCW of 25k so my best guess is we are at about 15,500# full of fuel, water, etc.
So around 1k less than the GCWR, we recently traded the scooter in the trailer for a golf cart so I am looking into getting a trailer toad to make sure the tongue weight is not too great that and I am in hopes of a few 12 hour tows to vegas this year rather than the 1- 5 hour tows thus far prior to the golf cart. I have too say at 1st I didn't think the stock 460 would do very well towing but thus far I am quite happy with it's power and can still make most grades at 55. We originally wanted to spend a bit more but this one owner coach with 33k on it was well maintained including new tires at the time and it's $9k price was too good too pass up. Hope the OP's search goes well and just remember to use common sense.

Son if you don't think it can be done you have never been to a drag strip-----My trailer is 32ft long and my DP is 38 ft long. Trailer loaded is around 16,000lbs I imagine. I have an 8.3 325 HP Cummins with a 6spd Allison trans. It will top the longest, highest hill around here at 55mph in the hot sun and never get hot. Ran to Fl at 70mph on the cruise. There are a ton of DPs for sale in the East that will get it done for you at that price.....Come buy mine, I'll get another one.
