Default Re: Towing and Fulltiming

   Seems like we hit on this topic, the dry weight vs. the loaded weight, every couple of weeks. Maybe someone who is computer literate can put together a FAQ page?
   Anway Jenna, to answer your question you do need to look for something with more towing capacity than your present vehicle. However you do not need a dually or even a V8 engine or an SUV. A strong 6 cylinder will do just fine if you get the towing package.
Our 3124 weighs in at around 4800# and we have towed all over the US and Canada with an Astro van.
As far as I know the factory tires are rated at more than the max towing weight of the TM which is on the aluminum tag on the left front side. Remember that the maximum towing capacity of the tires would be the sum of the capacity of each tire.
