Maybe it's just internet forums or just the new breed of Rver who over thinks everything he does or just plain lack of experience with actual hands on the subject in which he is posting,speaking third party not from boots on the ground.
I guess the funny thing to me is,all the wrecks lately with an RV involved around here were 8 lug rigs showing lack of experience or driver error "not" with ratings involved at all.
Never in 50 years of towing have I seen an RV wreck based solely on tow ratings or especially payload numbers..Not 1 but I have seen a lot of them based on road/weather conditions or operator error!
End the comments about towing 50 plus years ago!
:B Really?
Why..Things were better 50 some years ago.Spanking wasn't a crime and a Coke was a coke not a drug and towing wasn't rocket science.There weren't long debates or even much talk about payload or passenger weights or exceeding manufacturer ratings..Those that towed pretty much new what to do to make there towing experience safe and there vehicle last.
Where do you think the Tow package and WD hitch came from..It wasn't present time it was the old timers and trial and error or the Camper Special (heavy duty cooling, camper pre-wiring, and larger alternator).
None of this existed back in the day as well as Good Sam and has everything to do with today's towing mentality!
So No..I'm not going to loose the 50 some years ago knowledge some of us have and how we did it prior to so called modern towing.
