Frame reinforcement on class A

Monte Howard · 04-20-2012, 01:12 AM

I bought a 34 ft motorhome with alot of overhang, been researching alot on reinforcing the frame. I went and bought some steel today and not sure if my plans are going to work.
I was going to build a inverted truss under the frame from the rear spring perch to the back, but the holding tank is in the way. I could fix that , but I wanted to get some ideas from you guys, my next problem is the hitch is only rated at 4500 lbs and I can't find a 10,000lb. hitch that is the same width as my frame 30". It is a John Deere chassis, what is the best way to reinforce the rear frame?
