Yes!!! Times have indeed changed! I was telling my wife of this thread. She told me about her first home (1st marriage). Her father in law towed a 8x 42 (yes pretty small) mobile home ( late 50’s early ‘60’s) with all furnishings from Ft. Pierre, SD. to Kemmerer, Wy. with a 3/4 ton Chevy ( don’t know if he had an equalizing hitch )......About 700 miles (Pre-interstate). Must have had better trucks and tires back then.....or better drivers! ;)
One of my mom's aunt and uncle towed a 30' Airstream with Buick cars for decades. When they quit putting big blocks in them, he switch to a Suburban with a 454. It was a gutless POS and he sold the truck and trailer for a MH. Drove that for another 10-15 years but hated having to tow a small car behind it. Had that until he dropped dead one day at the diner eating breakfast, in his late 70's.
