Oh no,....it's happening!!!
Was on my way home from work last evening and came across a TT combo sitting at a gas station that grabbed my attention.  It was a Chevy Tahoe towing what looked to be a 36' TT.  Both were of the early 2000's vintage.  Despite having a WD hitch in place, this thing was sitting ugly.  The rear tires were stuffed way up in the wheel wells and the rear leaf springs (if there are any on a Tahoe) had to be laying flat or worse.  And, of source, you could see the gear piled high in the back of the Tahoe as well.  Wow, talk about a bumper dragger.  I wish I had snapped a picture.  Anyways, to get to my point, I was offended.  There was a time that I would notice such things and not give them much of a second thought.  After being a regular on the forums for a while now, my thoughts immediately turn to toungue weight, GVWR, etc and I think of the safety of my own family sharing the road with "train wrecks waiting to happen" like this.  After a bit more thought, I started to shake my head in disbelief as I realized they've probably been doing it this way for years judging by the nearly identical ages of their towing combination.  Can it be true?  Am I really becoming one of the "weight police".  Dear god, please no.  Just shoot me now itf that is the case...
