sooner or later you will pay a price for towing beyond the capacity of your hitch, towbar or the GCWR of your MH. premature failure of suspension, brakes, poor handling, extended braking distances , etc. IMO you’ll be increasing the risk to yourself and anyone who has the misfortune to cross your path. weight ratings are there for a reason. follow them. but i’m fairly certain you knew the answer to your own question before you asked it.
Not trying to contradict you but, where did he say he was beyond the capacity of his hitch, towbar, or GCWR ??? Only info he gave was his GC is "Nearly" 5,000 lbs. How were you able the glean this info from what he posted ?
