    What size motorhome engine to flat tow a full size crew cab truck.

    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.

    What size motorhome engine to flat tow a full size crew cab truck.

    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...

    What size motorhome engine to flat tow a full size crew cab truck.

    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...

    Smallest toy hauler that would still fit a Funco Gen4.

    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.

    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...

    I think on that year you still have to worry about the troublesome CP4 pump.

    Interesting. So a for a little more money I could buy a low milage F450 VS lets say the new duramax. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1669859953637402/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A4335c5b1-4fc8-4e62-a899-39b2460ed08a

    https://elitetruck.com/products/rds-part-72367pc I guess something like this if it would fit.

    Whole lot of questions that would need to be answered. I know I would want an 80 to 100 gallon tank. A toolbox would be nice as well. Then obviously the fifth wheel hitch. And maybe this makes a difference on what size bed you get to squeeze it all in there.

    Something else I am thinking about. I run flex fuel in my buggy and there are not a lot of stations that carry it. The Chevron that is the closest to my house does not have access for me to pull a truck and trailer of this size in and fill a fuel station in the trailer. So I was wondering using...

    Or just find something like this where the roof and wall sagging has all been addressed. Make life easier. I would assume there are different levels of competency in the wall sag repairs done on some of these trailers. Now I know how to inspect it. https://www.facebook.com/share/15Asad2XouC/ so...

    I remember reading and hearing about the sagging wall problems with these trailers. Never really knew how or what was going on. Just watched this and looks to be the correct way to fix the issues. But damn that's a lot of work. I would have no problem tackling this project myself but not...

    Thanks for this. Just what I was worried about. Payload is only 4,400 lb. Whereas payload for the 3505 is 5750. So the 3905 won't work.

    Pedego decided to get out of the mountain bikes and are currently having a closeout on the Elevate model. Great components and blowout pricing so good I could not say no.
