I am considering purchase of a Class A to be used for vacations, but also for towing my race car and trailer. The trailer loaded with race car, spares, tools, etc. is about 6800 lbs, but I can foresee at some point going up to 8000 or so lbs. My current enclosed trailer is about 24 ft overall with a 20ft box. Many of the folks I race with do this regularly, putting up to 7,500 miles annually on their rig. Most of these folks have had their units for up to a decade with no significant issues.
If I go this route, I know I need a unit with a very stout chassis and drivetrain, with a reasonable wheelbase and minimal rear overhang. I am talking to friends for recommendations.
However. from what I read, I get very mixed reviews on on whether this is a good idea or not. i am thinking maybe it is best to go to a full truck based toterhome, although with that option, one sacrifices motorhome amenities for towing capability.
I would appreciate thoughts and experiences from those who have done similar.
Thanks.
