Re: [a/s] My First Tow: A Lesson in Fear



<< "However, I would still stand on disagreeing with
     you that a standard weight distribution system is enough.  It is bad 
advice  for anyone, particularly someone very new to towing." >>

Sorry, I have to disagree.  many people tow safely with Reese hitches with WD 
and anti sway equipment.

I have followed George Tripp in extremely windy, almost hazardous driving 
conditions..... and he has followed me.

We were both impressed by each other's trailer's stability in those 
conditions.

I have a Hensley, George uses the Reese, with all the extras.  He also has a 
1 ton dually, with the Cummins diesel and knows how to properly set up his 
hitching stuff....

I believe the Hensley and the Pullrite to be the *safest* hitches but not the 
only way to tow safely if that makes sense.
