Towing with a Class B motorhome
Anyone use a Class B motorhome to tow a 24foot aluminum enclosed trailer? It's based on a Ford E350 dual rear wheel chassis with a 6.8l V10.

Glenn, think you mean Class C but you might contact Jim Wahl because he towed his enclosed featherlight with a E350 and had handling issues. Think the E350 is only rated to tow 7500 at most so a reinforced hitch would be in order and if working with one of the really long Class C’s with a wacky wheelbase/total length ratio then it isn’t advised. Successful towing with a Class C often means having it aligned with the aft end weighted to simulate the higher tongue weight of a trailer and some special helper springs. IRV2.com is a good resource, lots of Class C’s out there pulling trailers that aren’t racers. With that I yield to those with first hand experience...

Had an E-450 23’ class c with v-10 towed great not much overhang and I did use a trailer toad. I was towing a heavy 30’ triple axle steel pace. Thing I don’t like about a class c is your vision may only be to the vehicle ahead of you because you are driving a van. Class A sits driver high enough to see over quite a few cars ahead. Anyway with the weight your going to tow I would say you will be fine

Re: Towing with a Class B motorhome
Guys, a Class "B" motorhome is what we all call a "van" on steroids. You've all seen them - they are a motorhome on a basic auto manufacturer van chassis.
Like this: https://www.generalrv.com/product/ne...3321-13#photos Glenn, I would almost think that the motorhome itself is about all that chassis was designed to handle, attempting to tow a 24ft trailer with a car and gear would be mighty dangerous, imho. |
