To the OP: This topic comes up frequently and the answers are always divided about the same they are here. It always surprises me the number of answers that are essentially fear based...fear of driving at night, fear of mountain roads... And then there are the ones who tell you Yep! youve done about all you can now GO!! and have fun.
I'm in the latter group. Sounds like you'll be fine. I ususally do about 1600 or more one way on a trip. I drive whenever I feel like it. And I enjoy driving at night too.
It's easy to let other peoples fears and anxieties get to you and make you worry more than you should about this towing thing and some here on this forum seem to make it their life's work to distribute their fears and anxieties as widely as possible. Just go and have a good time.
