Re: [A/S] '73 Argosy



Hi Walt,

The trailer sounds great... love Argosys.  As for the tow vehicle, *I* 
wouldn't attempt to tow it with a Ford Ranger.... I guess it depends on your 
comfort level.

If you are going to be on hills or the interstate I think you'll wish you had 
a bigger, more powerful longer wheelbase truck.

  <  I understand it has a front couch that converts to a larger bed, and 
there is a single bed/couch in the rear after the kitchen, and then the bath 
of course.  Is this configuration a desireable one? >

That's a matter of choice... if you like it it is, if you don't it isn't.... 
it's your money.

<  It has newer tires, with only 120 miles on them, but has been sitting for 
some time, at a campground.>

How long?  If the tires went 120 miles 10 years ago it's too long...  it is a 
single or tandem axle?  You could try it and the worst that would happen is a 
flat... the problem with flats is you don't know when you have one...speaking 
from experience.

I say go for it, but have a friend with a fullsize pickup go with you......
