How many of you guys are towing with a Motorhome ? I have a 26' Chevrolet 454 And was wondering how it would do pulling two buggies and a car hauler . |

should do pretty good especially if it has a 3 speed trans. gas mileage on the other hand may not be so great, thats a big motor shoving a big cinder block down the road. |

I have a dodge ram 1500 4x4 with a 4.7L and pulled my 28 foot enclosed trailer with the buggy in it. I averaged 8.3 mpg taking it to Alabama this past weekend. I know its different with the motor homes put thought it would give a comparison. Will be buying another truck soon as my son wants to drive my truck when he gets his license. Looking at a diesal 3/4 ton or bigger maybe to pull the trailers and boat. |

I have an older 28' Alegro MH and have towed trailers with in and all I can say is make sure you have trailer brakes! Mine weighs 13,000#s and anything over a 2% grade makes for hard stopping. And you can forget an emergency stop, been there done that.  The MH now sits parked at camp. Makes a great Camper lol.

I have trailer brakes but stopping has been my main concern . It doesn't stop great without a trailer Posted using the WoodsBuggy Mobile App |

Yea braking is also my main concern, especialy on older units. Newer models have twice the brake capacity. Sent from my DROID3 using WoodsBuggy mobile app |
