mfa is right; watch out about your GCWR; even if your coach can be modified to handle the extra weight ie weight distributing hitch combined with a beefier reciever; the minute you have an accident even if its not your fault they'll hang you out to dry if your over weight! my Endura is GCWR at 26,000 total; the coach loaded weighs in at almost 19,000 which means even though my hitch is rated at 10k I can only legally tow 7k! Take it from me attorneys and the state will blame your overweight status even if it has nothing to do with the accident; Happy Rving!
