If you owned a 30' sailboat, using a 5 pound plastic "mushroom anchor" would "blow your boat around" when compared to a 40 pound Danforth anchor with the appropriate chain lead. While it's not "the same thing" (no anchors involved) the concept is very similar: A 30' sail (flat wall RV) is going to push/pull a small "anchor" (light weight tow vehicle) more than a large "anchor" (heavy weight tow vehicle).
There's a reason the auto manufacturers use flatbed trailers and steel ingots for weight when testing "tow capacity/tow performance"... It's to prevent the "anchor from letting the boat float away".... Or to be more precise, it's to prevent the RV size trailer from causing steering/control problems during the test.....
