I didn't mean to get your panties in a bunch Davydd. Out of 3 pages of posts I have 1 OK and 1 NO. Likewise no response to the toad question. Believe me, I will load it up and take a test run to feel it out. I've done this with other rigs in the past. Some folks won't run Hwy 1 in California. I was quite comfortable in a Class A pulling a toad. Folks have different comfort levels. Davydd - how far was the center of your load from the bumper and are you familiar with the polar moment of inertia concept? Were you using a carrier because you already had your van loaded to the gills? I'm a single traveler and my unit will be lightly loaded.
