towing with a ?

I just reinforced my motorhome 2 weekends ago. If you climb underneath and look at how they build the rear "extension" you would be in awe.

Mine had a 4-5' section butt welded to end. Part of the problem is the only weld was the top side of the C (which didn't feel like a good weld to begin with, could see it), and a 2" x 5" flat plate on the side, again with some not so great welds. That was it.

I added a 2" x 2" x .250 box tube underneath, as well as a 4" x .125" plate along side to connect frame to box, hitch to box/frame, and the 2 motorhome frames toghether. I then addes some gussets to the rear hitch.

Stock my hitch was rated for 175lbs tongque weight, 3500lbs max. Thats a damn golf cart trailer.
