We have an '03 24' Itasca. It came new with 3000 tow 350 tongue weight hitch.
We got rear ended and the hitch was replaced by the dealer with a 5000/500 towing or 6000/750 weight distribution hitch. We tow our 20' flat bed trailer using a wd hitch, often towing almost 6000 lb. with 500 +/- on the tongue. This set up works well.
We are looking at a new 27' mh, we are concerned about towing with the wd hitch because the new mh has about the same wheel base, but about 3 more feet of over hang.
The sales man and a couple of techs at the dealership think we will be alright. Anyone on here have any experience like this?
When we bought the 24' 03, Winnebago was doing the frame extensions to Ford Spec. I would think that would be the same today.
