It's hard to say about the GVW of the frame. Most of them were made by either Beck Welding or Bock, both out of Elkhart. Most axles were made by Dexter, out of Elkhart too. Is hard to say. Would think the tongue would be stamped, or near the front of the frame. Haven't dealt with mobile homes or RVs in years. Not too many manufacturers made their own frames. Actually, as big as they look, they're not that heavy so frames aren't necessarily all that heavy duty. I've seen guys take those kind of frames and try to build themselves utility trailers because they look sturdy, but then bow like no ones business under load because aren't as sturdy as they look. There are a million different mobile home and RV manufacturers up north around Elkhart, Middlebury, Bremen, Wakarusa, Napanee, etc, but if you know who manufactured it, could call them and get the name of the frame manufacturer and call them. Be careful. Cutting that short like that isn't good, because leaves you an awful lot of tongue weight. From the picture, looks as though you've got a bumper hitch, not a frame hitch. That's what it looks like. Some tongue weight is good, too much is very bad, even with a frame hitch. Mark
