Need big tow capacity, not large and fancy

I'm looking for an RV mainly for weekend use, that can easily tow a 10,000 lb trailer. It should be comfortable for 1 or 2 people, have a large water capacity (100 gallons or more), and not be unnecessarily large or fancy. The class C and gas class A rigs I've researched don't have the GCWR I need. Many diesel pushers have the towing cojones, but they're overkill on size and elaborate decor. The Chev Kodiak C5500 chassis-based Pony Xpress Class C motorhomes seem perfect for the mission, but they're pretty rare. What other manufacturers make what I'm looking for?

Thanks!

Re: Need big tow capacity, not large and fancy

You will probably not find any gas powered motorized RVs that are designed to do what you are looking for. The reason is that the market for them is just too small. There are only two class C RVs that I know of which fit the tow capability that you are looking for. You won't care much for the price of either one, I suspect. They both come in at more than $200K and the reason is simply that RV builders will supply what sells. There isn't much market for the kind of thing that you seem to want, as the really big trucks also have really nice coaches built on them. Check out these two.
