Re: [a/s] Concerned Airstreamer Speaks Out
The trailer that I used my Reese Dual Cam on was a 23 ft., 1972
Safari, weighing in at around 4,050 lb. empty. I did not like the effect
seen when semis passed me (not always, just some models of trucks that make
a really big bow wave, and just when they passed close and fast). I had
talked to a number of people who made the switch, and was convinced. I
decided that if I got a longer trailer, I would go with the HA.
I wanted a longer trailer, and when I got the chance to buy my 28
ft., 1995 Excella (7,100 lb, empty), I reasoned that the bow wave might
cause even more white knuckles. Walt Barksdale gave me a reasonable deal
on the HA if I bought both, and so I did. I've not regretted it, but have
to admit that comparing hauling a 23', 4050+ lb trailer with a Reese to
hauling a 28', 7,100+ lb trailer with a HA is somewhat "apples and
oranges." Main thing: I'm happy, Jane's happy.
