Most of the smaller C / B+ motorhomes are built on the MB Sprinter, Ford Transit, or Ram Van chassis. They all have a tow hitch rating of 5,000 lbs, but one must consider the total load the vehicle is capable of, or the GVCR (Gross vehicle combined weight rating). This is the maximum allowable combined mass of the vehicle: weight of vehicle + passengers + cargo (GVWR of the vehicle) PLUS the total weight of the trailer and load (GVWR of the trailer).
In the case of the B+ motorhomes on the aforementioned chassis, as stated above - they are good for pulling around 4,000 - 4,300 lbs, but you won't be able to exceed the speed limit on the highways...
