towing with your RV....

Same here...talk with Freightliner...I would be very surprised if it had a 5k hitch.

Thanks everyone!

I am bringing it to a place that does truck hitches, plows, and truck beds. They love racers, are in Candia NH so they are VERY close, and they think it will be super easy with some reinforcements and a universal class 5 hitch. And the best part is they can do it before next week when I want to leave for the Glen!

The one thing I learned from this experience is that I bet a LOT of racers are towing with hitches that are rated for 500LBS TW. I am shocked at the hitches I see as I check out trucks... even 1 ton trucks.

What Chuck said is correct. With motor homes you usually have to add structure from the wheels back to support the hitch and additional weight. We usually used a good welding shop and have had good results. You can also contact someone that repairs commercial auto haulers. Good luck
