Towing power of a class c

Be interested to hear what it does for your rv

Our previous coach was a 2014 Forester 32 foot with the v10.

We added the five star tune to it.

Huge difference overall - much better pickup from a stop, more play before downshifting in the mountains and better speed. Well worth what we paid for it.

In my searching around for tow capacity limitations, I discovered the new C's have a higher capacity not because of the engine or any other modification to the structure. But a piece of insulation put over a transmission plug near the exhaust. I am having mine examined and possibly beefed up to pull just over the 5000 lb limit on mine. I have the insulation from RV work to fix that part.

What now? Insulation around the electrical plug is simply to protect it from the heat of the exhaust. Earlier ones probably didn't have it because it wasn't until some of them got miles put on them that the manufacturer realized there was a heat problem. I can't picture such having a single thing to do with tow capacity.
