I would look at it a little differently, 1st look at the wheelbase and overhang. You would be surprised different wheelbases available in same length motorhome. Then If it is something you are going to have long term, purchase or build your own trailer toad. I had a nice class A 32ft long wheelbase with about a 6 foot overhang that had factory frame to the hitch(not added onto). We welded 1/4 steel plate to box the C Channels, added gussets, and diagonals. Towing 28 ft dragster trailer to all Division 1 races and Charlotte a couple times from Phila area started to notice slight movement (1/4 inch ) in rear portion. If I was to do it again, would definitely do a trailer toad. Spoke with a couple of racers that had Toads and they said much better stability on highway. Take a close look at the toad and there is very little tongue weight load.
