Re: Motorhome recommendations
I can't speak to the diesels but we had a Class C with a V10 that we towed an open trailer and car with for some time. Having the RV at the track was definitely nice but the gas V10 was horrible. I would never do that again and there is no way I would consider it with an enclosed trailer. Even with a light open trailer and car the MPG was horrendous and it had virtually zero power. What a nightmare.
Yes, many are rated for 5K so you'll need to look for one rated at 10K. I know a lot of folks have the 5K and modify/reinforce the frames but I have still heard horror stories about RV doors not opening, panels not lining up, etc. from excessive frame shifting over the years.
Just look for a diesel pusher in your price range and be done with it. Don't mess around with gas or a Class C. I don't think either will fit your needs.
