Scary Towing Sights This Week...
Last Monday I helped my Dad set up at a local CG for the week. While we were setting up we saw a Grand Cherokee pulling about a 28' fiberglass camper. The whole thing just looked awful as it was WAY...

Well if he had the WD bars, this setup would have LOOKED good. If he had better springs/air shocks/ETC. it would have looked right too. But Ive learned to NOT question WHY too much. Especially since Ive done that too.
We had a 32'TT setup year round on a seasonal for a couple years. The last year they made us move em off for site maintenance.
I decided to move it twice with my GC. Of course I did have the proper WD bars/sway control (I know friction sway is not the best, but it is better than none, and its what I had). I had brake controller, V8, new tires, and trailer pulling experience. -- I also knew that I really shouldnt do this, but I did and it actually felt very good. It was real easy to control. But it was wrong. I didnt have any other real choice other than maybe renting a large UHaul truck. Looking back I probably should have done that, but I didnt. I used my Jeep to bring it home, and again to take it back out. I did stay on side roads about 50 MPH though.
Again Im not saying I did the right thing, but sometimes people have to do, what they have to do.
