Paging 2ff rv question please

I had a 31' class C with the V10. I had a 20' enclosed trailer with the desert toys in it. Pretty sure I was close to the weight you are talking about and it towed it without problems. Going up the grade from El centro to San Diego I would maintain 50-55 MPH. I did have trailer brakes, so that made the stopping easier. Will the toon trailer have brakes?

most all boat trailers have surge brakes....best to check and make sure they work, if the coach is a E450...??? they are pretty stout

Carolynandbob, yes brakes & dual axle trailer.

2FF its the E350, still on the fence if I need an RV or just a full size pickup. some of the trucks & some of the RV's are pretty close in price. were really not familiar with the RV lifestyle. we mainly stay at Best Western.

Then you will be good. Mine was an E450. Most people ask if there is enough motor to tow a certain weight. What you really need to know is: Will it STOP a certain weight.
