Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Even with the motor home unload, veh. is over the gvwr on rear axle. unloaded the rear axle weighed 12220# and the front axle weighed 4740#. per the owners manual the gvwr is 12000# on the rear axle and 6000# on the front axle. this is 220# over on the rear axle and 1260# under on the front axle (these weights are with the coach empty!!). any additional load at all will make the front axle float even more. making for a dangerous steering condition. manufacturer even claims (per owners manual) i could pull a 2000# class 1 trailer. there is no way to do this with out making the situation even worst.
