Re: [RC] motorhome towing horse trailer. - Laney Humphrey

The brakes, transmission and frame are the important parts of the motorhome I'd be concerned with. The engine might seem big, but you will be asking it to do a very big job. I'm guessing that the extra work will shorten the life of the motorhome engine so you'll have bigger repair bills and bigger fuel bills than you would without pulling the trailer. But if you build those expenses in & it's still financially feasible, go for it. You don't say where you live, but length can be a problem in lots of places. Out here in the west, many people have 4 wheel drive trucks to handle mud, sand and whatever. Also think about where you will store feed & other horsie stuff since you won't have any storage for that kind of stuff in the motorhome. If you only do one day rides that might not be a problem but if you ever do multi-days or drive a long distance to get to a ride, you will need an extra horse slot in your trailer for feed.

==========================================

I have posted this to one other list, but would like to get any feedback i can on this subject.

I am shopping with my family for a motorhome. The one we are looking at has a Ford F450 econoliner v10 chassis and 31 foot total motorhome. can a 2 horse trailer be safely towed with this? I dont recall seeing this done, but my fiance doesnt see why we couldnt?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, lisa
