I HAVE A 34 FOOT FLEETWOOD GAS MH AND A 28 FT CLASSIC TRLR,3000 LB CAR,DRUM OF FUEL,AND A GOLF CART.AFTER ONE YEAR OF TOWING I BROKE THE WELDS ON THE CHEAP FACTORY HITCH,BROKE THE BOLTS THAT HOLD THE FRAME TO THE BODY ANDTHE FRAME EXTENSIONS FLEXED DOWN ABOUT 3 INCHES AT THE REAR OF THE MOTORHOME ... BE CAREFUL!! DONT TRUST THE 3000 LB HITCH WITHOUT SOME BRACING AND DONT TRUST THE FRAME EXTENSIONS,ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE LONG WITHOUT MAJOR BRACING WELDED IN!!
THAT SAID I STILL LIKE THE IDEA OF THE TRAILER TOAD,BUT AFTER A DAY WITH THE WELDER AND SOME 2x2 TUBING I HAVENT HAD ANYMORE PROBLEMS GOOD LUCK
