I will be checking out the hitch weight today and see what i can do.dingy towingI have a 2001 dodge 1500 4x4 pickup. would like to know if any others have towed a half ton with there gas class A. I used to flat tow a 2004 dakota 4x4 and worked really well for us. I know mileage may suffer a bit, but will save in buying a small suv just to keep as a tow car. Motorhome is 1998 forest river, 34 ft with a very good 460 motor. Any help would be great, thanks.Re: First time buying Class A Motorhomethanks for all who have added there comments. Yes, this will be the last one we buy. We will keep enjoying out 5th wheel while looking for our motorhome. this is my first forum to be a member of and will be posting more in the future.j Thank you all, Loren MooreFirst time buying Class A MotorhomeUPDATED: We are going to be buying out first class A motorhome. This will mainly used for the two of us but would like it to sleep 4. I am a log truck driver with almost 40 years of driving. We are looking at both types, gas and diesel in the 34 to 36 foot range. This will be a used motorhome and would like the input from anyone on the pros and cons of them. I do know and understand the upkeep on a diesel. Any help in this area would be great. I have read a few articles on gas vs diesel. Also we are also looking to downsize our pickup. Our current 2004 F250 superduty with the v10 is not what i want for a tow vehicle. Would like to keep it 4x4 with a manual trans, and it would be an older model. Any suggestions on make and model would be great. We currently are vendors for festivals, making lawn art and rv flag poles and downsizing the pickup would be i think a good thing for us. any help would be used in our choice. thank you
