<p>Our 87 Southwind has a listed towing capacity of 3500 pounds. It has a Chevy chassis with a 454, TH400, and 4.88 axle ratio. I know that is has a class 3 hitch. Here is my confusion, the hitch has a weight carrying capacity of 350 pounds tongue weight and 3500 pounds total capacity. However, if it is set up using a WDH, it has a 500 pound tongue weight and a capacity to tow 5000 pounds. Why the difference? Does the hitch handle 3500 pounds or 5000 pounds?

The reason I am asking is that our toad, a 2003 Kia Sedona has a curd weight of 4802 pounds and we use a tow dolly. So my second question is can my MH tow our toad? We pulled it to St Louis once, 210 miles, and I could not detect and reduction in the way the MH acted on the level and only a 5 MPH reduction on the hills.</p> Sell 1972 Coachmen - Photostag:goodoldrvs.ning.com,2010-08-05:2093474:Topic:348062010-08-05T15:11:25.697ZDeharthttps://goodoldrvs.ning.com/profile/Dehart

We are asking $3000. obo and are in Woodstock CT right now. Everything in tip top shape. Just so cramped for so many of us. We talked to RV hall of fame, bit they wanted us to donate not to purchase. Cannot afford that. If you are interested please call. 774 452 5412. I've not seen another camper like ours, and never in this condition. We are a sad it's too small which is why we held onto her all this time.
