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

the v-10 will tow the toon with ease...I've towed 10 k with those class c's... the best upgrade will be the 5 star tune and the sumo' springs...most come with a 5k hitch that can e modified to a 10k easy...but, I see people towing way over 5k with the same hitch,... I own a fab/ muffler shop so I always up grade the hitch

I would also if you can get the newer Class C with the six speed transmissions. I like the new 26ft class C with the pop out bedroom.
