towing a truck

I just purchased an 03 winne adventurer 38g. Gcwr is 26, 000. Can it tow an 02 dodge ram 1500 4x4 or is the truck too heavy.

Weigh your rig with a working load, add the dry weight of the truck plus about 750 lbs (unless you haul a LOT in it) add them and compare to the 26K lbs max.
Also check if truck weight (loaded) exceeds max MH hitch rating.

On the web my best guess is your truck is about 5650 lbs.
You must have at least a 7500 lb hitch rating.

It seems the standard hitch back then for the gas Winnebagos was rated at 5,000 lbs. Hopefully I'm wrong about that.
