I have a 29.5 Cavaleir, with the factory 3500# hitch, I was wondering if anyone has up the towing capacity of their unit. I would like to raise mine to 5000#. Any idea on what I would have to do? I know that I might have to beef up the frame some, but then maybe not. I know that I would have to change the hitch to the 5000# rating. Any thoughts.
Thanks
Bill
