Unsafe At Any Speed With Pics

Way too much wait on the tongue. Disaster in the making.

Love the trailer extension ;)

That's called a weight-distribution-ATV. It takes weight off of the tongue. ;)

Normally, I think the "weight Police" sorts of posts are being a little overboard in their concerns, but this situation looks pretty scary to me. In addition to what has been pointed out, is that ATV riding on a ramp gate? If so what's holding it up. The receiver on my old 2011 ram 2500 was about to fail from 31k miles of towing an 8k trailer with a standard equalizer hitch. Can't imagine what that extension is doing to the receiver on this setup. Surprised something hasn't failed already, and when it does as pointed out it doesn't look like the safety chains will be of much help.

Gotta have those toys, I guess. I hope they don't go flying across the highway sometime.

Here is my setup, hitch on motorhome has been reinforced and channel iron added to frame in back of RV, two heavy duty 5500 pound axels with 4 brakes, 10,000 pound safety chains and tires, electric brake away switch, 10,000 pound receiver with 1200 pound tonged weight capacity, LED lights, Jeep more center on axels to keep tonged weight light as possible and air bags on motorhome to keep it all level, total weight around 6000 lbs, Banks headers, Banks cold air intake and 5 star tuning and it pulls it like it only weights 2000 lbs..

Safe up to 75 mph, but I only drive 62 mph... ;)

I wish you wouldn't post pics like that. scares me so much I may not want to ever approach a MH that is towing again

timmac has a nice, safe looking setup. Look at that, don't look at the OP.
The OP is scary.

timmac, I don't dare show your set up to my DW. She wants to get a MH and a Jeep so bad...Every time we're on the road with our TT and she sees a MH with a Jeep pulled behind it I get " wouldn't that be fun". Yes, it would but not right now.

This one pulled up alongside of me yesterday. Baseplate bolted to bumper. Did not look to good.

Timmac, how do you get your boat down? The boat weights nothing but the outboard is another story.
