Is your Class C rated to tow that much weight, what is the hitch rated to tow.

We have a 24’ class c and drive it around everywhere. We traveled 17k miles this past year and only rented a vehicle once in Vegas.

Safe travels!

Although the Class C can be up to 7,500 pounds, I won´t dare to pull such a truck. I had a truck like that, it can be pulled but I doubt it will be a fun experience. No way I would try

First determine if your truck can be towed. Check the owner's manual and read the section on towing behind a motorhome. You need a 4wd drive with a center differential that can be shifted into neutral.

There are three well recognized manufacturer's of base plates and tow bars - Roadmaster, BlueOx, and Demco. Pick one.

The final thing you need is a braking system for the truck. Since you don't have an air brake equipped motorhome, you need to look for a good portable system. RVi3 would be my choice.

I'm very happy with my Roadmaster Falcon towbar (you may need a higher rated model) and braking system. Easy to hitch/unhitch; unobtrusive while driving.
