Experienced trailer boaters used to acknowledge that you do not exceed 80% of the manufacturer's tow rating. I never seem to hear this from RV'ers. Years back we had a 1/2 Ford Chateau Wagon (full size van). It was a magnificent tow vehicle for our 21' Sea Ray. It didn't do nearly as well with our a 'lightweight' TT we had for a very short period of time. Both were well within the 80% boaters rule. My suspicion was that the boater was just so much more aerodynamic. That was confirmed by a trailer servicing place I talked to.
