MC-9 towing

[CrabbyMilton]

Perhaps the hitch on his PREVOST was to tow his car.

It sounds like Prevosts are capable of pulling 15k.  So I could buy a Prevost.

A quick search says that Prevost sells 10k and 20k lb hitches.  The 20k hitch requires a kit for replacement or modification of the engine cradle.  I don't plan to go that route but I'll keep it in mind.

Can you post your research links? I would like to know which version I have on my bus...

Not all Prevost can tow 15,000 lbs up till the mid 90's they would not tow over 5,000 lbs on RV shells ,the converters would install hitches but it was years before Prevost installed a hitch from the factory.I recall seeing a factory installed hitch on our late model 90's was a topic at Vogue in OK it was rated at 7500 lbs

There should be a plate or label directly on the hitch itself telling what weight is allowed.  The link Van posted is very good.

Two more links.  They don't tell how to tell the difference, just that there is one:

Ya you are right Van man. But his favorite one according to his wife was his MCI 102C.  He said they road better and it just felt right. I used to do work for his FIL in Sacramento, CA.
So Ha.........
