To OP, because of RV's heavy hitch weight, many tow vehicles tend to run out of available payload before exceeding max tow rating. This is because a 7000 lb. boat trailer might have <10% tongue weight, where an RV could have 12-15% tongue weight. Might not seem like much difference, but it can add up.
