Wife and I subscribed. Very interested.

How fast do you think this would flat-tow 5000 lb behind it? Going up and down some of the bigger hills.

Do you have some interior pictures. What is the tow rating for this coach? I'm still sort of leaning towards a dually and a weekend warrior le3505 or le3305. But flat towing a 5000 lb truck behind a motorhome is still an option for us.

My motorhome empty on that grade starts to overheat and I have to shift down and run the RPM above 2000 to keep it cool.

:p

Dry weight on my current motorhome is around 23,000. I remember weighing the entire rig and it was I think around 28,500 lb.

I now have a 99 tradewinds 36 foot with a 3126 cat. 300 horsepower. I tow my Funco on an open trailer which weighs total I would guess around 4,500 lb. From Phoenix to the dunes is mostly flat ground so towing is not a problem. Driving this motor home from Phoenix to San Diego with no trailer it...

A little research shows a late model crew cab half ton Chevy truck can be flat towed with the transmission and transfer case in neutral. Looks like those trucks weigh around 5000 lb. Instead of a dually crew cab truck and a toy hauler what about a pusher capable of pulling a pickup flat towed...

Absolutely hate it. People don't know how to think anymore.

Would have never guessed that truck has 4,000 lb over the rear axle empty.

Good stuff thank you. Damn they make this difficult.

Trust me I'm having a hard time going from our nice trade winds moho even being older. Really like that thing. But to go spend a month or two at different places around the country and be able to run around. Truck and toyhauler is the only way to do it that I can see. The rig will do three...

Yes it will be in the front of the bed. So that thousand pounds will be probably what 3 ft forward of that rear axle transferring some of that weight forward.

So dumb question. Let's say I was to look at a trailer like this one. https://www.rvusa.com/rv-guide/2016-keystone-carbon-387-toy-hauler-specs-tr25174 13,300 lb dry with a 19,000 lb gross weight rating. That trailer will take a payload of 5,600 lb. More modern trailer that is 8 ft longer than...

Just drove a new Chevy LT 3500 dually. Not the fanciest with all the bells and whistles but I could absolutely live with that truck. Midway quoted me 68k plus fees and AutoNation said they could match that. So for that price to me with 100,000 mi powertrain warranty and being a Chevy guy it...
