i am looking at possibly getting a class c motorhome, four winds model 29 footer, seems to be in excellent condition has ford 6.8 motor ,what are some of your ideas on this considering i will be pulling a 26 foot box with my stocker ,quad,toolboxes , jacks etc etc etc i presently have a chevy dually 8.1 motor,will the ford be able to handle my trailer adequately??i need experienced feedback. thanks in advance

Re: rv
 

I think your dually has more power and the motorhome has more weight. Might be a slow ride going up hill!.
Watch the hitch (and frame area) on the class C motorhomes. Mine had a "Valley" hitch with defective welds and it broke while pulling my 20' enclosed trailer. Most are only rated at 5000lb, you'll probably need to upgrade the hitch and reinforce the frame.

DRC in PA has a good rep for Motorhome hitch fabrications, I may have them do my class C Dodge. Although the price quote of 2,100 scared me for a moment, at least I'll know it was done right.

Jimmy - If feedback is what you want here it is -- Buy a Class A .Sooner or later you will - might as well be happy from day one .

Re: rv
 

double what Jack said. the class C has a long overhang ( not good for towing) . get the class A

Re: rv
 

I have that exact motorhome i tow with, 28ft box,did the frame,hitch bracing myself. never had any problems, the engine pulls strong,but will slow abit on long steep hills,always kit out of O/D manually,seems to help. the class c is a good unit, but, these guys are right, u will want a class A, at some point.

Re: rv
 

X2 on what others are saying. There are some great deals right now. You can buy a real nice diesel pusher for what a dually costs. We had a gas unit and upgraded to a diesel last fall and what a difference.

Jim:
More important is the fact that a class c would be so overloaded that it may cause you or someone else a problem. You can brace the hitch reinforce the frame but it will still be far beyond what the legal weight on the GCVW (Gross Combined Veh.Weight). I think you would be much happier with a Class A but the only legal way to go is a pusher or Super C-Just my opinion and you know what they say about those,
