RTV1100 Tongue Weight

timswi · Apr 8, 2012

What's the most tongue weight anyone out there has put on an RTV1100?

I believe it's listed at 300...reason I ask is that my neighbor bought a new travel trailer and they will need to move it into final position in a tight area...We were going to position it with the 1100 once the pull vehicle maxes out...Probably 15-20 ft...Est tongue weight is 600# or so...I don't want to destroy that tube hitch.

They've done smaller ones with quads (I really don't like that)..

Or would it just be safer to do this with the wife's H3 which is only 3ft longer...I'm starting to lean this way.

I just moved my FEMA trailer for the first time with my RTV 1140. Other than the hitch being too close to the ground it went pretty well. I'm using a 4" drop hitch turned upside down. It was so much easier to move the camper because I could see out of the RTV so much better than from the inside of my pickup. I would estimate the tongue weight of my camper to be 450 lbs.

Exactly what I wanted to know...thanks
