02 Damon Intruder - Towing

I have a 02 damon intruder class A, would i be able to tow a car trailer with vehicle on it ? Total weight would be about 5,000 lbs. Would i have to replace rear shocks with air shocks or better shocks ? If so, what are the best shocks recommended ? I am sure they are originals on there.

Most likely that will put you over max CGVW

You need to scale the RV, find out the total weight, Might as well find wheel weights as well and set inflation accordingly.

Now somewhere inside the RV is a sticker, kind of large, Mine is on a kitchen cabined door (inside) it lists the dry weight of the RV, the capaicty of the tanks and two all important numbers

Max GVW rating (mine is 2200 pounds as I recall, might be less)
and Max CGVW (Mine is 26,000 and I suspect yours as well)
it also lists Cargo Carrying Capacity (999 in my case)

There is now way I can tow a car on a trailer

I run right at the MAX GVW (22000 pounds) so that only leave me 4,000 for towing. no amount of upgrade will fix that.

I tow 2500 pounds by the way, 4-Down, by means of a lube pump.
