Bobby, if you are using the factory trailer hitch on your mini, check it out thoroughly.
I had an 04 and while pulling a 20' trailer with quads and motorcycles the hitch broke.
The cross bar is welded to the side plates in shear and that's just what happened.
The factory welds were junk and the cross bar came lose from the side plates.
Note that this also included the receiver section with the chains and breakaway.
I was lucky not to cause a major accident on the freeway and Winnebago and Valley Hitch wouldn't cover the defect.
My 24 came from Winnebago with Michelin tires, very good but I think the motor home is only rated to tow 5,000.
