Can You Tow Argosy TT with Argosy MH?

I was wanting to know if anyone has ever towed a Argosy trailer with a Argosy motorhome? Not that I have the funds or time for a project like this, just wanted to know if a Argosy 20' MH, 454 engine, could SAFELY tow a 20' to 24' Argosy trailer? If it could, a matching reovation/restoration would look very good and give us the option of how many family members could go on a camping trip. Are the 70's 20' Argosy's on a Chevrolet P-30 chassis? I don't think total length would be longer than the 1 ton Ext Cab 5th wheel TT'ers. Don't even want to talk about mpg's!

or is this just a crazy idea?

An Argosy 20 will weigh in around 3000 pounds, depending on equipment. As long as that doesn't reach 80% of the MoHo's tow rating, there should be no reason why it won't work.

That would be a cool pair of rigs. Let us know if you do it.
