Paul,
According to the manufacture they think the tongue weight will be no greater than 1000 lbs. If you have three axles and all stackers I have seen do, then that should not be any problem. ...

Paul,
Very cool idea. But if you have not been following this discussion, which has had a ton of great information, maybe a re-read would help. From what I gather other than the tongue weight,...

Randy,
I have rethought the issues. I think I can build a regular trailer with more conventional dimension that the motorhomes I am looking at can pull with in their limits. I am adding a 5 foot...

Dirk,
You are right on all issues. The coach is an 07 so new for the most part. The last trailer which was 26 feet and loaded with all the same stuff except the lift and added height of the...

Skip We are looking at a Damon Tuscany with a Freightliner chassis and a C-7 350 HP Cat engine. Again it is hard to determine what the manufacture thinks is a resonable load to pull with this...

Mike,
I am about to give up on the whole thing. I don't know how the stacker guys sell those things. About the only thing that will tow them is a Prevost of Marathon and that is out of my league. ...

Donavan,
The problem is the trailer will be something north of 13,500 lbs and that is about 3500 lbs more than the coach is supposed to haul.
Thanks for the reply

Jim,
I have looked at them and they are rated to pull something like 45,000 lbs. Just have problems with the overall look. But maybe worth another look. Don't want to be in the Prevost range with...

Mike,
The bigger motor home with a 400 HP is where I am headed. This gets crazy even the 400 hp rigs are not rated to pull this load as the differential is only about 10000lbs, and I am over that...

Doug,
Thanks for information. Problem is I cannot find a coach that would haul that load. I think we are talking about something in excess of 42 feet. I know there are a lot of these trailers...
