Re: [A/S] IH Travelall tow vehicle
Scott,
You're right about relative weights of tow vehicle vs. trailer. Most
folks towing a 34' Excella aren't using an 8000# vehicle to do so.
Was going to visit Cabella's yesterday for the first time and had a good
scare. As we passed the Monroe KOA, a Dodge pulling some sort of
not-too-large SOB was waiting at the stop sign. He followed us onto
US23, but was in a bigger hurry than my cousin, who was driving. He got
just a bit past us and that thing started to sway, BAD! He just held on
and slowed down at a gradual rate until it straightened out, but it was
a bit exciting for us; can't imagine what HE was feeling!
Didn't notice any sway control on the hitch when we passed him. (he
wasn't in such a big hurry anymore)
