Hi All, I have purchased a 2017 Thor Miramar 34.1 Class A Gas motorhome and am desiring to tow my 2016 GMC Sierra Crew Cab pickup 4 wheels down. If I am doing the math right, from a weight rating perspective theoretically I believe I am ok. The GVWR for my motorhome is 22000 and my GCWR is 26000 pounds. I calculate (and will actually weigh at some point) the actual loaded weight of the motorhome to be 19980. The Sierra weighs 5440 pounds. Combining the loaded weight of the motorhome with the weight of the Sierra I get 25420, which just a bit less than the GCWR of 26000. Should I be concerned about being this close to the GCWR? Should I be accounting for other factors such as elevation, grades, etc. or are they already accounted for in the GCWR? Does anyone have first hand experience towing a full size pickup with a Class A gasser Trition V10? If so, what is your experience? Does the Triton seem to be overtasked? Interested in any and all feedback.
