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

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


I used a Ford-based Class C motorhome pulling a two-horse trailer for ten years
and many thousands of miles, with no problems.  I did have an extended tongue on
the trailer, so that I could back the trailer to nearly ninety-degrees angle
without any part of the trailer hitting the motorhome.  Make sure that the hitch
on the motorhome is beefed-up with plenty of steel going to the frame, or it
will soon bend.  A hitch designed for pulling a car on a dolly is not strong
enough.
