    Re: [RC] tow vehicles - Duncan Fletcher


    I think that might depend on the manufacturer. I have one friend who tows a
    three horse (generally with 2 horses aboard plus hay and water) without any
    difficulty with a class C. This is built on a Ford chassis. But I don't have
    a clue of the actual specs. One other thing to be conscious of is the
    feasibility of attaching the hitch. Some have long overhangs without much
    frame making hitch installation of suitable (towing capacity) hitch
    difficult.
