No I would not tow over 3500 pounds with my s class,even with a modified,722.6xx and extra trans cooler. Problem is I read towing anything you burn the same amount of fuel as a class C or A. Even keeping rpms down to 50 mph. Automatic's pull more,than manuals too.

Mercedes recommend no more than 3000 with brakes or 1500 without. I'd be cautious with one towing a small trailer especially in the mountains and in the summer if you live somewhere very hot.
If you get into 3500# you'll be happier with a truck or suburban. But if you've never done it before and you're not sure if you'll like it I'd start with a small trailer towable by whatever I have.

I may be interested in selling you my unit, but it's not a giveaway item. It's a 2002 Ford E450 7.3 liter cutaway 24' Class C. 100K miles. It's a rugged unit. Roll bar cage. Well built. Fully loaded for an '02. Full leather, the whole enchilada. I may upgrade to a newer unit and for the right $, I'll sell you mine. Cost to sell I'd entertain - in the upper $30K range. A like unit new would be close to $150K. +/-

Few things hold their value as badly as the typical RV. Or you can pay skidmark a huge premium for his 100k mile example because it has leather.

Be careful on Craigslist. RV and trailer sales seems to be a popular scam.
Be wary of any listing with no inside photos. Anyone can snap a photo of a trailer on the street and then post it for sale. The goals of such scammers is endless. If nothing else they can gather your e-mail address. At worse they can request you to send a deposit. I don't think you are dumb enough to fall for any of these scams. I am only telling you this to let you know you will hit a lot of dead ends if Craigslist is your only option. You might consider a dealer in used trailers. And don't pay for anything without a 100% function check. Pipes break in the winter and the seller may not be aware of a problem. Make sure all propane systems work. Check the refrigerator function; dual fuel friges are expensive. And run water over it to check for leaks. |

heard something funny about a RV.
A sick man was found laying next to a RV. He thought he would steal its gas,Instead he hooked up to its sewer tank. Chunky gasoline?
