I wanted to tow a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited with a Tioga 29 ft. Class C.
I encountered the same problem the OP is having, a 3500 lb. hitch.
I took it to a highly qualified metal worker/welder and had the hitch reinforced and the frame extensions inspected.
He said "You are good to go!"
So we went.
We made several trips across the Continental Divide with that rig. Nothing bent; nothing broke; there were no accidents, incidents, or occurrences; no injuries; and no fatalities.
the Ford 460 in that Tioga did the job quite well.

The 460 will pull almost anything you want, the problem is the class 2 hitch. I took my MH in and had class 5 put on it, there is only 2 feet of frame addition to our P30 with a 454 so that is not a problem. We will be pulling an F150 Supercrew, that is as soon as we get it bought and all the towing paraphernalia attached. Currently we pull our Kia Sedona on a Master tow dolly and that 454 barley knows its back there. I am sure others will pipe in about how crazy we are, but to each their own. This setup is working well for us.
Thanks. A Sedona should be equivalent in weight. I'll look at the hitch and check all the weights. I suppose I'm not worried about the 460 it really seems to pull. The master tow has brakes so I'm ok with that....just don't want frame issues really.
