I'm looking at a renegade motorhome and a renegade toterhome. The toter has 22 foot living quarters and is a tandem rear axle. The motorhome is a 28 foot conversion with a single rear axle. I will be towing around 22,000 lbs with either one. What I was wanting to know is how close is that to maxing out the single axle motorhome. Renegade says it is rated to tow 30,000, but I want to know real world experiences.

Right now towing 21,000 with my 16 foot single axle toter is no problem, I closely watch the air bag gauge. empty, it is 35psi, and loaded it only goes to 50psi. Also the rear axle hardly gets to 180-190 degrees. So I think my tongue weight is really good, I just wonder how the larger motorhome would do?
