I did once. I towed a 27 foot fiver to Wyoming from Virginia. Believe me it was a white knuckle experience. I watched patiently as every thing on the road passed me and went out of sight. I think it had 235 HP and 300 torque. We went over I80 Wy at 8000 feet. You loose 3.5 % of your power per thousand feet so we were down about 25 percent. With a naturally aspirated engine there is no way to get around that. Our camper only weighed 7200 pounds. It can only imagine what it would be like with a 12000 pound camper and have no desire to find out.
